Rescue Remedy is a specific blend of five distinct flower essences, rather than having a single "main" ingredient. It is formulated as a combination of these essences to work synergistically.
Understanding the Blend
Unlike many products that might feature one primary active component, Rescue Remedy is renowned for its unique combination of five individual Bach flower essences. These essences are prepared from various plants, each traditionally associated with specific emotional states. The product relies on the collective effect of these components.
The five active ingredients, listed with their scientific names, are present as a 5x dilution in the formula:
| Scientific Name (HPUS) | Common Bach Flower Name |
|---|---|
| Helianthemum nummularium | Rock Rose |
| Clematis vitalba | Clematis |
| Impatiens glandulifera | Impatiens |
| Prunus cerasifera | Cherry Plum |
| Ornithogalum umbellatum | Star of Bethlehem |
Each of these flower essences contributes to the overall profile of Rescue Remedy, which is often used to help individuals maintain calm and composure in various stressful situations. The balanced presence of all five ingredients is crucial to its intended purpose, meaning no single one dominates as the "main" component.
