Rescue Sleep contains flower essences that include: Star of Bethlehem for “treating shock”, Rock Rose for “treating anxiety”, Cherry Plum for loss of self-control, Impatiens for helping individuals gain patience, Clematis for crisis control and White Chestnut for mental focus.

Interestingly, this blend of herbal extracts is similar to those contained in other formulas made by the same company; furthermore, the majority of the information circulating about these ingredients comes from retailers that carry the products. We will further examine what these flower essences are advertised do.

Star of Bethlehem is a plant native to Southern Europe and is similar to onion and garlic, and is an edible plant eaten by many. It is used for medicinal purposes to help treat shock symptoms. Rock Rose has been used to treat panic attacks and nightmares and is included in several remedies made by the company Nelson Bach. Not much information is available on its traditional uses, and we came across no medical research on this flower. Cherry Plum has been used to help people who fear losing control, either physically or mentally. Impatiens, a plant most people are familiar with, is included in the formula to help those who tend to act impulsively.

Clematis is thought to help prevent people from passing out when confronted with a crisis; however, like the other ingredients listed, most of the information available comes from companies that sell Nelson Bach products. White Chestnut is thought to help those who tend to worry think more constructively by clearing the mind of these unwanted thoughts.

Insomnia is a problem suffered by many, and one that can have an even greater impact on daily life when the condition is chronic. Therefore, individuals may be interested in finding ways to treat this problem. Sleeping pills have been around for a long time, but most require a prescription, many can be addictive, and some have negative side effects for some.

For people concerned about these things, natural alternatives are available, many in the form of oral supplements, for over-the-counter use. We recommend seeking those that contain the mineral lithium and use a natural coating in the manufacturing process for best results.

Insomnia is often caused by an excess amount of stress, and consumers may find that they benefit from use of supplements that not only promote relaxation at bedtime, but also help ease tension and elevate the mood levels to help increase feelings of calmness and making life feel less stressful at any time of day. We have found that consumers benefit from products containing the mineral lithium. We recommend seeking products from companies that offer free trials.
