A Closer Look at the Players Playing Rescue

The 5 Flower Combination Known as Rescue Remedy

For Fear: Rock Rose: TERROR: The rescue remedy. The remedy of

emergency for cases where there even appears no hope. In accident or

sudden illness, or when the patient is very frightened or terrified, or if the

condition is serious enough to cause great fear to those around. If the

patient is not conscious the lips may be moistened with the remedy. Other

remedies in addition may also be required, as, for example, if there is

unconsciousness, which is a deep, sleepy state, Clematis; if there is

torture, Agrimony, and so on.

Not sufficient interest in present circumstances: Clematis*: DREAMING

OF THE FUTURE: Those who are dreamy, drowsy, not fully awake, no great

interest in life. Quiet people, not really happy in their present

circumstances, living more in the future than in the present; living in hopes

of happier times, when their ideals may come true. In illness some make

little or no effort to get well, and in certain may even look forward to death,

in the hope of better times; or maybe, meeting again some beloved one whom

they have lost.

The day-dreamers, those who are absent-minded, who live in their

thoughts and lack interest in the present. “In varying degrees”, as Dr.

Bach said “these symptoms are common in such people: a vacant far-

away look, indifference, inattention, preoccupation, dreaminess or

drowsiness, heavy sleeping, and often marked pallor”.

Loneliness: Impatiens*: LACK OF PATIENCE: Those who are quick in

thought and action and who wish all things to be done without hesitation or

delay. When ill they are anxious for a hasty recovery. They find it very

difficult to be patient with people who are slow, as they consider it wrong

and a waste of time, and they will endeavor to make such people quicker in all

ways. They often prefer to work and think alone, so that they can do

everything at their own speed.

hard masters to others, no hesitancy due to being self-assured, attempts to

hurry others, irritability, likes to work alone, quick, self-reliant, may become

For despondency or despair: Star of Bethlehem: SHOCK: For those in

great distress under conditions which for a time produce great unhappiness.

The shock of serious news, the loss of some one dear, the fright following an

accident, and such like. For those who for a time refuse to be consoled this

remedy brings comfort.

Notes: all types of shock, comforter, of benefit to all, releases memories of

shock from unconscious, soothing, when a flower medicine does not work

significant shock consider Star of Bethlehem, despondency from shock,

Star of Bethlehem, as Dr. Bach called it, is “the comforter and soother

of pains and sorrow”.
