Rescue Remedy is a popular choice for people looking for a natural way to find calm and strength during moments of emotional challenge, upset and difficulty. It’s a five-flower homeopathic remedy with origins that date back to the 1930s. It’s now widely available in a range of formats. For example, as well as the original bottle dropper form, it now comes as a convenient Rescue Remedy spray. In this post, we take a look at how fans use and benefit from one of the most well-known flower remedies.
What does Rescue Remedy do?
People around the world keep Rescue Remedy close by for times when they need a helping hand to maintain composure.
In the 1930s Dr Edward Bach first developed the formula. Through his research on the different homeopathic qualities of plants and flowers, Dr Bach identified 38 plant and flower remedies. Each was associated with a basic human emotion. He found taking the appropriate remedy for a specific feeling or emotion could help to maintain emotional equilibrium and composure. Five of the original 38 flower remedies are still used in today’s formulations, including Rescue Remedy spray.
The five key flower remedies
- Rock Rose for fearlessness. To help manage feelings of terror, fear or nightmares.
- Impatiens for patience. To help manage feelings of impatience, irritability and frustration.
- Clematis for focus. To help with grounding and anchoring back to reality.
- Star of Bethlehem for comfort. To help with trauma, shock, loss, grief or bereavement.
- Cherry plum for composure. To help manage a fear of losing control and acting irrationally.

Summary: Rescue Remedy can help balance emotional health but always take advice
Rescue Remedy is formulated specifically to help people cope through times of acute emotional stress and challenge. While there’s plenty of anecdotal evidence to support this use, more research is needed to scientifically support its benefits. Therefore, it shouldn’t replace medical care or treatment. And as with all herbal remedies, if you take medication or have any underlying health conditions, it’s wise to check potential Rescue Remedy side effects with a medical professional before trying it yourself.
The advice in this article is for information only and should not replace medical care. Please check with your GP or healthcare professional before trying any supplements, treatments or remedies. Food supplements must not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
