Rescue remedy

[Kitkat]

Hi, I suffer from anxiety and get easily stressed, in the slightest situations, a friend suggested rescue remedy, but had never tried it herself.

Has anyone had any experience of rescue remedy? and are there any side effects to using it?

Hi Kitkat,

Rescue remedy is my go to remedy, I use it for everything, and I'm convinced it's what has kept me sane in times of stress.
I have used it prior to interviews, exams and work pressures. It is not instant and you may need to take it for several hour to get the best effect.
for example, if you have a stressful situation coming up that day, ie exams, results of something, parents-in-law coming round:doh...take it the night before or the morning of the day, you'll find that you can cope with the stressful situations much better.:encouragement:

I have tried rescue remedy for times of anxiety and stress. There are various forms in which you can take it, spray, lozenge, tincture, pastels. Personally, I think the spray is the most effective version and the easiest to use.

I recommended it, in my opinion it is better than calms.

I use my spray for 24 hours prior to a know stressful situation. Or if I suddenly find myself in a stressed out mood, I just keep spraying Until I feel out, that might take an hour.

I went a bought some of this last week, having gone for a job interview and always feeling very nervous. I found it a great help, I felt more in control of my nervous during the interview and I didn't feel they got the better of me. Didn't get the job though:doh

I bought the rescue remedy and at first I wasn't convinced it was doing anything. I supposed I expected to feel chilled out, but I didn't. I did find that I seemed more chilled when things happened that would normally tip me over the edge, I felt irritable and less anxious. Thanks for your suggestions guys. Oh! And I bought the spray :encouragement:
