A combination of five English flower essences first developed by Dr. Edward Bach, promoting calm and balance in diverse situations of stress, emergency, and trauma.
The Five-Flower Formula™ is praised throughout the world by health practitioners and lay persons. The formula of five different flower essences was developed by Dr. Edward Bach in the 1930s through his own practice and observation. Over the years it has come to be regarded as a "rescue" combination for its remarkable ability to address emergency and crisis conditions.
Prepared in rural England by renowned teacher and naturalist, Julian Barnard of Healingherbs, Ltd., the formula is made according to the original directions of Dr. Bach. True to Bach's original intentions, it is not prepared or labeled as a homeopathic remedy. It is available either preserved with organic and Biodynamic® grape alcohol.

I keep a tube on hand at all times for emergencies. So helpful to lessen inflamation and bruising from sprains and contusions. Once I sprained my ankle and applied the ointment to the area that hurt the next day I realized that I missed an area because it looked so much worse than the major spot. Have also given to a neighbor that had suffered a sprain a week earlier, she was completely amazed at the impressive results!
This product has helped me tend to inflammation when I cannot take NASAIDS / Advil to tend to many issues. I take it daily, and then will increase my dose when I need extra support. This supplement has been very helpful.
