My mother gave me a small bottle of rescue remedy when I was pregnant 25 years ago, to help me when I went into labour. Can't remember if it worked or not, although I did have nice short labour of about 6 hrs

I noticed that they took it off the market here for awhile, but when I was in the chemist yesterday I saw some there, so it must be back in fashion! 
Yes I was one of the lucky women, no morning sickness, great pregnancy and short labour.

Yes I remember the gripe water as a child, but thankfully I was never forced to take any!
I have only had the one child. A old friend of mine whose son is 18mths older than my daughter had very short labours, 2hrs for the first and 30 mins for the second. She just made it to the hospital on both occasions. Once her waters broke she had to did not have a lot of time to get to the hospital.

I've used these and other essences with much success...but I suppose that's because my 'situation' (the soul exchange) works strictly on energy healing...as it is a 'spiritual issue' and that's why I think they helped me out very much.

What exactly are flower remedies?
What are they used for?
I have come across them online, and they can be very pricey for a whole set. But I didn't really see what they were for.

This is from the FES website:
FAQ
What are flower essences?
Flower essences are herbal infusions or decoctions,
made from the flowering part of the plant, which uniquely address emotional
and mental aspects of wellness. The first 38 flower remedies were formulated
by a British physician, Dr. Edward Bach, in the 1930's, although new remedies
from other plant species are now available.
How do flower essences work?
To understand how flower essences work requires a
recognition that the human being is more than a physical body, but also
incorporates a "body" of life energy, a "body" of
sensitivity and feelings, and a spiritual essence or Self. Flower essences
are energetic imprints of the life force of plants which interact with
these subtle bodies of the human being, and evoke specific qualities within
us. We can say that they work in a similar way to inspirational music
or art, which carry meaning through the vehicle of sound or light, while
the flower essences work through the medium of water.
Modern physics has known for nearly a century that
matter and consciousness are intertwined. However, medical science still
generally works with a nineteenth century model of the human being as
a mechanism in a world of machines. We expect that in the coming century
medical science will develop ways of studying the impact of consciousness
on health, and we will learn more about the ways in which flower essences
work. However, empirical research, which consists of the collection of
case studies and practitioner reports, will remain the primary source
of knowledge about how flower essences work.

Yes, I have been using it twice a day for the past three days. Once before work, and once before I do my evening healing work. The second day I woke up with a terrible sore throat. Possibly may of been an energy block coming out of me from the rescue remedy. Have not reached enough of an opinion on it yet.

i've started using the 'night' bottle in the day because it's basically the same as the original but has a few extra essences, one for 'unwanted thoughts' so i need that! also isn't in an alcohol solution if that's what caused your throat? i also mix it with a bottle of water and sip it through out the day.

Yes, it's in alcohol soulution of 27%, I think. So is mouthwash. Don't know if mouthwash is that high. It was only the first night that I had the sore throat. I can only say it was either coincidence, or a block being worked out.

I found this site that is located in Scotland and they have a wide variety of essence brands - so probably a good place to buy from if you're either in Europe or in the UK. Edit to add - I was told by one of the reps. from the main site that they do have a U.S. distributor: http://www.southernherb.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=3_172_174&products_id=3091
http://www.healingorchids.com/
Next month I will be buying their Shadow Defense blend:
Shadow Defense is a combination of 3 essences: Defender from the Dark, Pushing Back the Night and Shadow Warrior.
The latter helps us to not have our shadow side be dominant in our
daily life, whilst Pushing Back the Night brings a powerful temple of
energetic support to this process through strengthening &
heightening our inner alignment. Defender from the Dark provides
protection to this inner process, preventing exterior dark influences
from interfering. In other words, this essence combination provides us
with protection against both inner and outer shadow elements.
Defender from the Dark:
In response to a perceived global energetic challenge, this orchid
called out to be made into an essence in early October 2010. The second
part of the botanical name Pleurothallis phalangifera
translates as "phalanx-bearing" meaning the orchid spike looks like it
is carrying a small phalanx of soldiers. A dream-time image which came
to Don repeatedly one night about this essence was of hundreds of elves
with their bows on their shoulders, marshalling their forces, preparing
for battle. And indeed the orchid looks reminiscent of that Tolkien-like
image. There is a sense with this orchid that, while it knows the dark,
it is not of the dark. Embodying deep goodness of being, it is
nevertheless not naive about the threat posed at times by dark forces.
There is an old adage in American football, that the "best defense is a
good offense"; this essence provides both clearing of and protection
from high levels of dark energies through its determined opposition to
their intentions.
An exceptional aspect of this essence is the fact
that immediately upon making, it made clear to us that it wanted to be
combined with several other essences. Rather than the one-size-fits-all
approach, this essence wanted a mini-series of Defender combinations to
come into being, to enable people to fine-tune the best type of
protection they or a client might need. For fuller information, please
see our Combinations page, or our new Defender Series page.
Pushing Back the Night:
Produces a state of mind where vision and light become inseparable.
Helps elevate our thoughts to the point where we can see the Sacred in
life. An essence to help heal the destiny of humanity. Not only does it
aid our own personal growth, but also invites the Light of the Future to
Take Back the Night. Blockages in the bahui centre, the Chinese Crown
Chakra point, (on the top of the head) are pushed out of the aurice
field; and in doing so, this enables us to extend an awareness
vertically into a temple within a celestial domain. In this way the
microcosm affects the macrocosm. In this time when many negative karmas
are being released upon the world, this essence is especially important
for helping people not be distracted from a spiritual purpose and light.
Shadow Warrior:
An extraordinary orchid, this essence was brought into being to assist
the integration of one’s shadow side with the onward journey of the soul
into the light. It stops the shadow from interacting negatively with
challenging archetypes, and enables grounding of primitive fears. Enters
the base of the skull and goes down the causal body to the root chakra
and below, connecting the soul to the root of the soul's journey. This
essence clears one's inner vision causing a change in perception, a
deeper reality, and enhances clairaudience. Shadow Warrior is a very
‘yang’ essence, and the effect is sustained with a minimum dose.

I used it for a few times... And honestly, I did not feel much of a difference with the Rescue Remedy.

A few drops of brandy added to the Bach flower remedies works wonders.
Brandy acts as a preservative for the essences.

Re Innerlight - I wonder if you tried the FES Healing Herbs 'Five Flower Remedy' (their version of the Rescue Remedy) if there would be any difference you'd notice.
I no longer use the 'Bach' line, but instead use the FES Healing Herbs version of the Bach essences and I found them far more effective.

I have used the rescue remedy for anxiety and stress. It did help temporarily for a while per pastille.

The Bach Flower Remedies have helped many, many people over the years. A gentle natural treatment. Logic would suggest a spiritual/sensitive person would be more attuned to their healing properties ...
I've certainly used them in the past.
They are worth trying. There is a wide range of essences covering a multitude of ailments and issues.
If the problem is specifically one of anxiety, a herbal nervine might be more direct. Nytol is a good one, available in chemists. It is intended to help induce peaceful sleep at night, though the ingredients - valerian and passiflora - are widely used in nervine formulae. Taken a couple of hours before a specific event, if its that that is troubling you, they will greatly help keep you calm.

Hi Knight of Albion,
You do know that the Bachflower remedies have individual remedies that you can pick and that work for each specified ailment?
