Rescue Remedy was created by Dr. Bach, a physician and homeopath in the 1930’s in England. He believed there is a significant link between our emotional wellness and imbalance/disease/illness. He developed an easy to use, self-help system of 38 Bach Flower Remedies that can help with each emotional and mental state, treating the individual rather than the disease or symptoms. The remedies help transform negative thoughts and emotions into more positive ones enabling the potential of self healing.
For a more in depth explanation of the remedies and how they work, watch my YouTube video: What are Bach Flower Remedies?
