Excerpt from Natural Baby and Childcare

Developed by the British physician Edward Bach, Bach Flower remedies consist of thirty-eight flower essences that work to gently restore various negative emotional states.  Bach flowers are prepared from wild flowers infused in spring water and are considered safe and natural.  The most well known, Rescue Remedy, is a combination of five flower essences meant to be calming for emergency situations. They are preserved in 27% brandy.
