Review : Bach Flower Remedies Rescue Cream


Product Description
Rescue Cream is an intensive moisturizer designed to soothe dry, irritated, or damaged skin caused by the stresses and strains of everyday life. As a well-known indicator of how the body feels inside, our skin is often the first place where you see the effects of a demanding, busy life. This can lead to dry, rough, uneven, dull looking skin. Rescue Cream helps promote healing of irritated or damaged skin. A combination of six of the Bach Original Flower Remedies, Rescue Cream is a soothing cream that can be applied to hands, body or face. Safe for use on rough, chapped or damaged skin. Rescue Cream is non-greasy, fragrance-free, paraben-free, lanolin-free, and not tested on animals.

I am always on the lookout for some type of all-in-one healing cream - for itchiness, for bites, for eczema ( if possible ), heals damaged skin, soothe dry skin, etc. A brand that I like has been discontinued so I have been on the lookout on Iherb when I chanced upon this, with pretty good reviews. 

Bach Flower Remedies Rescue Cream is white in colour and light in texture. It is soft and applies well on skin. I have used it on itchy mosquito bites but it works to soothe the itch only at times and not every time. I have also used it on eczema itch but it made the itch worse. In fact, I over-apply when the eczema itch got too bad ( I apply and re-apply on the affected area several times during one night ) and I seem to get some giddiness on the left side of my head. That got me panicky and I stopped using it for several weeks. The giddiness gradually disappeared but it took a long while. 

Potential side-effects can be found here while the good stories can be found here.
Poisoning symptoms from the use of Clematis vitalba HPUS include dizziness, confusion, possible fainting and convulsions which vaguely seems like mine. Oops. Read more from here.
