Anyone tried rescue remedy ? Did it work for you ?

?

Yes in psychosomatic way which is good enough for me.

I have & I'd say it works because you think it's worked iyswim.
It's harmless & the results seem pretty instant. Good stuff & really cheap in Savers if you're near one.

It may well be psychosomatic but I still credit it for getting me through my driving test (and a few other wee crises over the years).

No.
Had no effect whatsoever.

Yes, I have found it helpful at stressful times, during bereavement, family funerals etc. I think it has an alcohol content, tastes like brandy, but you only have a few drops on your tongue.

I also found it helpful, even if it was psychosomatic. It helped me get through my driving test and other stressful times.

Yes, I love it.

The Placebo effect is proven to be very effective and it worked for me.

Yeah it's helped me

Yes, but I don't believe it is just placebo effect. I heard RSPCB use it on birds, that can't be placebo 🐦😂 I found the more individualised ones work better though, used vervain and mimulus at variius times for different things. Some of those with a child who didn't know I'd given them and worked🤷

Yes, I have used it before giving presentations at work and it's really helped. Someone from HR recommended it to me, she said that many of the team use it for stressful situations such as disciplinaries or redundancy consultations.

I like the spray version best.

My driving test instructor told me the person who went before me had taken in so much of it in the few hours before his test that he was almost over the legal limit for alcohol.
I don't know how true that was but it put me off the idea of taking it.

I tried it a few times ...ok This works sleep pillow spray for me works a lot better.

I haven’t used it but my mum has and says it works for her.

It works for me, even if it is "only" a placebo.

How does a placebo work if you KNOW its a placebo and its not actually doing anything?

It is absolutely rubbish homeopathy nonsense for goodness sake.

It works for me. And has for friends etc who've had a sudden shock such as a bereavement.

I also use the more specific flower remedies. If I can't sleep, White Chestnut works brilliantly to calm the mind.

Only ever used for my driving test - I passed though!

I understood that it worked because it extracts of whatever suspended in grape alcohol (?)
I don’t know why the placebo effect works when you know it is a placebo but I swear by ecanacia for a cold when there isn’t really any evidence that it is effective.

Has worked for members of my family and me too- don’t know why or how and don’t care of it was the placebo effect !! It did what it needed to! Just because science and the medical profession can’t explain or understand how something works doesn’t mean it doesn’t work- humans aren’t meant to know everything in the world !!

Yes

And it worked - mix of placebo and brandy (which is what it mainly is)

Yes.

Yep, same!

Absolutely, but the placebo effect does still work, even if you know that!

Yes, but I realise it is the placebo effect.

We ran out and I was so upset that DH gave me a nip of the good brandy. Sticking to that in future.
