The 38 different Bach Flowers were developed at the beginning of 20^th century in England, by a former surgeon, bacteriologist and homoeopath Edward Bach.. They are mixtures with plant extracts, which look after the spirit and allow to recreate our internal harmony.. They have a positive effect on our feelings and emotions such as anxiety, depression, lack of self-confidence and stress. Finding emotional harmony allows us to live much more serenely in everyday life…
According to Mr Bach, the psychic state of a person plays an important role on there overall good health and finding a cure… So, instead of focusing on the symptoms of a disease or a situation, he looked instead for the cause …

Tested and approuved :

I discovered Rescue a few years ago. Subject to stress,anxiety and stage fright prior to my examinations, I looked for a natural “trick” to calm me down before taking my driving test.. We were advised to try Rescue, some drops under the tongue, several days before D-day, and of course, no sooner said than done . And actually, I was much more Zen and relaxed in the exam itself… I did not go to pieces, and passed with flying colors… Since then I always carry Rescue in my bag .. Ah and concerning animals, it is very effective also.. I tested several times on Pucci, my little rabbit, and helped wounded animals in a state of shock, with the Rescue pet edition. The effects of reassurance especially on Pucci, were instantaneous…
