Where would I be without Rescue Remedy? I have used this since I was afflicted with ‘children’. For those of you who have never suffered from ‘children’, be assured, this affliction can seriously increase stress levels.

You will find it difficult to relax as your once lovely house is transformed into a messy home. You will always be tired as you will never sleep the night through ever again and your body will ache from continually cooking, grocery shopping, cleaning and doing countless other chores.

Rescue remedy was recommended to me by a busy mum, and since that, I have recommended it to other busy mums. I love the slogan ‘Pause for a moment of clarity’, this actually works!

Rescue remedy can be taken in many ways to suit different people anytime and anywhere to help manage daily stressful situations. It contains a combination of five of the Bach Original Flower Remedies made from natural flower. These flower remedies work by helping restore inner calm when under pressure.

The difference in choosing a natural remedy rather than prescription and non-prescription drugs is huge. Rescue remedy has no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives and they are not addictive. So many, if not all, of drugs prescribed to help relieve stress are addictive, which means your body can become immune thus requiring more and more of the drug to achieve the same effect. This is surely the wrong road to be travelling along.

Try Rescue remedy, I urge you, whether you have little darlings, or if you are just feeling the pressures of life in another form. It is available in a Dropper bottle 10mls £5.00, Chewing gum £4.25, Rescue Pastilles £5.95 and more.

I would tend to favour the liquid melts £8.45 and the chewing gum as they can be carried easily in my handbag.

I find they work just as well as the dropper bottle. The pastilles are scrumy, I have the blackcurrant flavour in a convenient little tin.

It is also available as a soothing cream – Rescue Cream. 30g RRP £5.70.

This cream has 6 Flower Essences and gives 24 hour care for dry, rough, sensitive skin. Paraben and perfume free it is a really good moisturiser.  Perfect for elbows and knees.

Lips are also cared for by the Rescue Balm. This smells devine, also containing flower essences, it is brilliant for chapped and dry lips RRP £6.30.

As with the cream, this is paraben and lanolin free, very important as 60% of what we put on our skin is absorbed into our bloodstreams (Parabens are nasty chemicals which are better avoided).

All the Rescue Remedy products are available from www.nelsons.co.uk along with other great natural products. I would like to mention just one further product from this company. Nelsons Calendula cream 50mls RRP £6.60 .

This multi-purpose cream for rough, dry, flaky or chapped skin is a really great buy. I use it on my sons’ skin, he would be prone to rough, dry skin. After the bath, this is applied and a little goes a long way. I can rest assured I am not using any cream with harmful chemicals and has not been tested on animals.

So, visit www.nelsons.co.uk to view the entire selection, there are some excellent Christmas gift ideas.
