Bach RESCUE PEARLS, Natural Orange Vanilla Flavor, Natural Stress Relief, Homeopathic Flower Essence, Quick-Dissolve, Gluten & Sugar-Free, 28 Count

I have bought several times over the years. Works as described

I see many people have also had a great experience with Rescue Pearls, but I just wanted to add my review to the pile. hehe I recommend these to anyone who has stress/anxiety/depression issues that's open to taking stuff like this. (i.e. "natural" remedies and/or pills) I should say, I don't know how much of an effect it would have on someone who normally takes prescription strength anxiety/depression medication (though it may help! But I don't want to say for sure as I'm not an expert/professional), but for those in the grey area, where you're not taking prescribed medication, but anxiety/depression issues still inhibit you living your life, this stuff is great.What I love about it:1) It "evens you out", it doesn't make you overly "happy" or loopy or anything like that, it just makes you feel "better/normal", and maybe in some cases, motivated to do things (which I think just stems from you no longer feeling UNmotivated. hehe). And from my experience, there's no withdrawal symptoms when it wears off. You might eventually slip back into a bad state, depending on the severity/circumstances of your mood, but even then, I've never experienced a major 180 back to zero, it's more like "hmm, I guess I'll take another one, starting to feel bad/weird again", but that's usually hours and hours later, if at all.2) It works gradually, so you don't feel weird when it starts taking effect. For myself, while I'll sometimes feel better shortly after taking it, mostly it's like, I'll take one and be like "ok time to let it set in" and will go about doing stuff and next thing I know, I'll look at the clock and see a lot of time has passed, and I'll feel noticeably better/"normal". I usually give myself about half an hour before deciding whether I need to take another one or not. I usually don't, only during REALLY rough times have I ever needed to take more than one in a short period of time. (which was rare, just a few times in the past couple years since I started taking them)3) I personally have experienced no side effects, but I can't guarantee that everyone will react the same, but at least for myself it's been fine to use these things. I try not to take more than one or two a day for a few days in a row if I'm going through a bad time; I definitely don't wanna get in a habit of taking them regularly (though the box claims it's not habit forming, I still don't want to get my body used to it so it loses effect) As others have said, hopefully this stuff is ok for you. haha I've tried looking and haven't seen anything alarming. (but as always, I know there's risks to taking any pills.)4) It has a pleasant taste! Kind of citrus-y? Though apparently it's made with grapeseed oil!There's probably more I could say, but that's all I can think of for now.In addition to what I said above, the best endorsement I can give these things is that I've even made my boyfriend a believer/user of these, and he is SUPER skeptical about "natural" remedies like this, and even he thinks it helps him!

I love these and have used them for years to take the edge off when I’m feeling stressed. They work wonders.

Bought these based off a recommendation from a friend but for another friend of mine and she had said they did work for her for a short time but eventually the anxiety came back. Not saying it doesn’t work because everyone’s system is different then others but she did say she would recommend to other friends.

About 15 years ago, I was asked to speak at the funeral of a young woman (my employee) who was killed in a tragic car accident. I am a very emotional person and was concerned I wouldn't be able to get through my speech without breaking down. I spoke with my doctor about my concerns and he recommended I take Rescue Remedy as a natural stress reliever. I tried it a few days before the funeral just to be sure there wouldn't be any adverse affects. On the day of the funeral, I took one of the pearls a few hours before the service. I was able to get through the eulogy with emotion, but no tears or breakdown. I felt totally in control when meeting family members and others who were clearly distraught.Every since, I've used this all-natural product to help me cope with extremely stressful situations (not day-to-day stuff). It takes the edge off in a very natural way - there is no grogginess or "dopey" feeling. You can still give a speech, drive or whatever you need to do. You are calm and 100% in control. This is not habit-forming - I've only reached for it twice this year, once for a speech in front of 1,000+ people and the second time, a family member's funeral.If you're interested in the backstory - Bach® Original Flower Remedies active flower essence ingredients are prepared using the original methods employed by Dr. Edward Bach, the physician and homeopath who developed the system in the 1930s. By 1936, Dr. Bach identified 38 flower remedies — each derived from a different wildflower, plant, or tree, and each corresponding to a specific emotional state. Bach® Original Flower Remedies are manufactured at an FDA-registered pharmaceutical facility.

I was having some issues with walking far distances and had a little anxiety and would have to stop and break for a couple minutes. My sister-in-law suggested me to get these and try them. I went to my doctor and asked about them and she said they would be fine cause they are all natural ingredients. I tried them and they have a slight flavor which is nice and they just take the edge off enough for me to get where I am going and the anxiety went away. There are other flavors too and I will be carrying them everywhere I go.

Friend uses and likes these. I didnt feel a difference- I wouldnt use again

Everyday stress was getting to me, so I tried these and they helped me to get a handle on it. I feel calmer and able to handle the day much better.
