Rescue remedy

[jjazz]

Anybody used this for anxiety inducing events eg job interviews. Is it effective? Any side effects. I reasise that no efficacy has been proven but lots of poeple seem to swear by it. Any side effects?

There are no side effects because it is just a small amount of water. People who swear by it are benefitting from the placebo effect. Save your cash.

I used it when moving house, and was able to come up with a solution to delays instead of losing my temper. All I remember is feeling a bit "different", more relaxed for whatever reason, and would use it again whatever is causing the effect - it's not expensive.

I used to use it to relax horses when they got wound up. It worked for them, even though they had no concept of the placebo effect! I used it on myself for exams as well. No side effects.

I've used it before & it's brilliant IMO. I don't really care if it's the placebo effect or not, it works & that's what counts at the end of the day.

I used it for my driving test along with dark chocolate which is meant to have the same effect not that I needed an excuse and I think placebo or not it certainly helped me keep calm.

Hasn't worked for me

the night time one has worked for me

Recommended by my holistic vet for anxiety in my dogs.

I drink it, it's great. I quite like the little pastilles actually, great when driving.

Neil's Yard Remedies - do a series of Bach Flower Essences, e.g. letting go, optimism, unwind etc. No water in these, it is brandy! But no idea if they help or not, I like them, because if nothing else it is a reminder to take the focus gently back to the moment and to me and it feels kind to myself. No side effects, just 4 little drops under the tongue or in a glass of water. Actually if you went into the shop the staff are usually very good and informed and might be able to advise.

It works for me. Its brandy in it as well. No side effects. I wouldnt be without a bottle in the house.
