Dr. Bach's Rescue Remedy is a flower essence formula containing the following:
* Impatiens: For those who act and think quickly, and have no patience for what they see as the slowness of others. They often prefer to work alone. Teaches empathy and understanding of and patience with others. We've found it very fast-acting in alieviating an impatient attitude and lowering stress.
* Star of Bethlehem: For trauma and shock, whether experienced recently or in the past. Teaches the ability to recover from traumas and to integrate them into the present life.
* Cherry Plum: For those who fear losing control of their thoughts and actions and doing things they know are bad for them or which they consider wrong. Teaches trust in one's spontaneous wisdom and the courage to follow one's path.
* Rock Rose: For situations in which one experiences panic or terror.
* Clematis: For those who find their lives unhappy and withdraw into fantasy worlds. They are ungrounded and indifferent to the details of everyday life. Teaches one to establish a bridge between the physical world and the world of ideas; may foster great creativity. Is also used to bring clarity and alertness to the present moment.
It may be sold at GNC - and it is fine for dogs. The regular version has alcohol and I wouldn't be to excited to give it to a tiny Yorkie or even my 10 pounder, so there is now an alcohol free version for pets. I linked to it in an earlier post.
My dogs respond exceptionally well to it. It was recommended by the dog's homeopath and I use it for separation anxiety, before vet trips and for myself!
