I purchased some Rescue Remedy in liquid form to use in case of an emergency for my pets. I need instructions for how to use it. Thank you

Hi Pat, (I happen to be a Bach therapist as well)

Although this isn`t a homeopathic remedy, Bach Rescue Remedy can sometimes be very helpful and doesn`t interfere with homeopathic treatment when given alongside, for example with Aconite or Arnica for shock.

In case of immediate first aid for accidents/emergencies (e.g. a fracture) you can give a few drops straight on to the tongue or with a little water if preferred.

For concussion : Place a few drops directly onto the tongue and repeat in 10 minutes approx. (5-15 minutes) 2-4 times as necessary.

Do the same for other head injuries.

For heatstroke : Place a few drops inside the lips or on the tongue and repeat every 5-10 minutes until improvement (until symptoms subside and relief is evident).

For shock : Put a few drops straight onto or under the tongue or with a little water. Repeat every 5-10 minutes until the symptoms of shock subside and relief is evident.

Continuation Bach Rescue Remedy :

This (non-homeopathic) remedy is a combination of Cherry Plum, Clematis, Impatiens, Rock Rose, Star of Bethlehem and can also be used for people (also children).

It`s an all purpose emergency mixture for shock, terror, panic, emotional upsets (e.g stage fright or when a child is afraid of going to school etc.), examinations, dentistry and other emergencies. May also be externally applied for burns, animal bites and sprains.

For people the rescue remedy is taken orally 4-5 drops in water (take small sips with short intervals till improvement) or without water under the tongue (keep the drops under the tongue for a short while). Externally it`s applied either in liquid form or cream form.

Sometimes Bach Rescue Remedy is used to revive patients who undergo fainting with acupuncture therapy and for post operative recovery. This remedy is also particularly useful for allaying the anxiety of childbirth.

Mind you, the possibilities for using Bach Flower remedies in general are far more limited than for Homeopathy !

Addition :

Bach Flower remedies are prepared from the flowers of wild plants and none of them are harmful or habit-forming, and as they are benign in their action they can`t result in unpleasant reactions or complications.
