Rescue remedy?

Question

Hi, i have my driving test in 2 weeks time, i`ll be 30 weeks pregnant on the day and was just wondering if it is safe for me to use rescue remedy?

thanx

Answer 1

yes defo as its only herbal can do no harm good luck

Answer 2

check with your pharmacist he should know what is safe or not  and if you have your local pharmacy's number you don't even need to leave the house!

Answer 3

Oh, you can use Rescue Remedy! Use it as much as you wish. There are no side effects when it comes to flower essences.

Answer 4

Please ignore the first answer...just because it herbal does NOT mean its safe.  Deadly nightshade is herbal and no one in their right mind would go near it.

You need to ask a doctor on this, because what is perfectly fine in a non pregnant state can be dangerous when pregnant.  Its not worth taking any chances.

Answer 5

This is the link to the rescue remedy website...

You could always e-mail them and ask.

SkepDoc - you don't have to dilute rescue remedy, it does state on the label that you can take the drops undiluted as well.

To the first poster - just because something is herbal, does not mean it is safe. Many herbs are toxic, as has been pointed out.

Answer 6

According to the label:

"Cautions:

Keep this and all drugs out of reach of children. As with any drug, if you are pregnant or nursing a baby seek the advice of a licensed physician before using this product"

In other words, ask a physician... that's your safest bet. Not all herbs are safe during pregnancy, and the main reason is that (by the basic aspects of biology) your body sees pregnancy similarly to an illness (that it's a foreign entity in your body)... anything that boosts your immune system can actually hurt the fetus. That's why some herbs have warnings against pregnancy.

Answer 7

Flower essences are energetic in nature and have no influence on bodily functioning.  It's important to shake the bottle well before using.  You can put drops on your wrists or dab it behind your ears - they don't have to be ingested.

It also wonderful to have around when you are in labor at the hospital.  Put several droppersful in an 8 oz bottle of filtered water to sip over the hours (hopefully not too many!)

Answer 8

Since it is basically a placebo treatment they instruct you to dissolve even further in water....there is neither harm nor benefit.

EDIT.  Fiance and kids....Just because something is "herbal" does NOT mean it is harmless.  There are lots of cases of toxic reactions from herbal remedies, and many of the ones coming from China or used in Ayurvedic potions are contaminated with heavy metals like lead, mercury and cadmium.

Answer 9

It should be fine if used as intended- meaning just a couple of drops.  There is alcohol in it, so don't overdo it.
