Rescue Remedy in Pregnancy?

Hi
Can anyone tell me if it's safe to take Rescue Remedy during pregnancy? I'm 20 weeks pregnant and going through a particularly stressful time at the moment. A friend recommended Rescue Remedy but she didn't know if it could be used safely during pregnancy.

Many thanks,

Alison

Hi
Rescue Remedy is quite harmless at any stage in your life and can help you with stress related symptoms.

There are other Bach Flower essences that can help you even more, depending on the type of stressfull events you're going through. You should consult a person who is knowledgeable in Bach Remedies.

Since this type of remedy like homeopathic remedies also reaches the foetus, you baby will also benefit from it's calming effects since he or she also picks up on your emotional state and probably needs as much help as you do.

You can take any Bach remedies without fear of doing harm to your baby.

Wishing you all the best.

You don't have to INGEST Rescue Remedy or any other flower essence (or combination, RR is a combination of five Bach essences).

It is energetic in nature. Just shake the bottle well and put a few drops on your wrists, behind your ears like perfume, etc.

It cannot harm you or your growing baby. You can put a few droppersful in an 8 ounce bottle of water and sip it throughout the day or evening. It will still be effective and extend the "life" of your bottle.

Definitely take a bottle of RR treated water to the hospital for your delivery.

If you can afford it a Reiki practitioner can also help your with your anxiety. Even taking a level I course and getting the basic attunements for Reiki. There is a CD for Tenihira or self-heal which takes 30 minutes for nightly self treatment.

There are many Yoga classes now for pregnant women. Yoga is much more than a body discipline and it's emotional benefits are well-recognised.

with any medications it's better to ask a doctor..you don't even have to go in just call and say you have a question about whether or not you can take something while being pregnant and they can get a nurse or doctor on the phone with you and answer your question right then and there. they can also give you another solution if that one is not safe or tell you safe dosages while being pregnant. It's better to take a few minutes with them than risk your baby's life. Cause I honestly don't know and while some people would say it's safe other people will say it's not. Calling them is a simple and safe solution.

Rescue Remedy is a Bach Flower Remedy and will not hurt you or your fetus. It is energy medicine and actually has the ability to align your physical and emotional bodies. It is a blend of flower remedies and calms, soothes and begins the healing process after trauma of a physical or emotional variety. No purse, glove compartment or home should be without it.

the bach website (below) says its safe during pregnancy and has been used for 60 yrs. personally im a bit sceptical about it and i wouldnt want to take anything that wasnt necessary during pregnancy. i think it contains alcohol, only a small amount . if ur having a very stressful time then u maybe need some professional help rather than herbs, try talking to yr midwife to see if she can help its not good for yr baby u being stressed. good luck and hope ur feeling better soon.

Yes, Rescue Remedy is safe throughout your pregnancy and even after you pregnancy to assist you with your new born.
I took four drops when I went into labour with my son, didn't make the labour any less painful but it didn't do any harm and the staff had no problems with me using it

The tincture has a lot of alcohol in it so you probably shouldn't. They make a tablet now that is free of alcohol and probably a lot safer for the baby. I would ask an alternative health person to be sure but they are flower remedies and not herbs or anything that they usually warn mothers against.
