Bach Flower Remedies

INTRODUCTION ------------------------ They say the Brits are one of the most stressed and anxious people in the world. We work long hours and take few holidays. As a Nation we simply work to hard. It is hardly surprising that within such a work-driven culture so many people suffer with SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder). I hate the autumn and winter months, leaving for work in the dark and often arriving home in the dark. The cold weather and grumpy bus driver is enough to send me crazy. In addition to this there are also a few words that can instil fear and dread in me within seconds...The words interview, injection or assessment/presentation can reduce me to a ...  Read the complete review

Bach Rescue Remedy is a product that has been mentioned in many (health and women’s) magazines over the years. Article after article has told how great it is at calming nerves and helping people to cope with anxiety, and these articles often mention a celebrity fan that can’t live without it. Before I tried it, I’d always considered it to be some kind of miracle product, up there with the likes of Clarin’s Beauty Flash Balm and Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream, as I’d never heard a bad word said about it.
