Bach Flower Pastilles come from a Californian based company called Directly From Nature, and according to the company information, is the exclusive distributor for the original Bach Flower remedies in the USA. However, you can also buy Bach Flower Pastilles from numerous outlets around the world, as well as via Amazon.
Bach Rescue Remedy is a much loved homeopathic stress remedy, that has been popular with customers for the last 80 years. The pastilles are exactly the same as the Rescue Remedy that comes in dropper form, but here in pastille form is more convenient to take with you as well as more pleasurable to eat. There is not a lot to these pastilles. Apart from the flavourings, the so called active ingredients are in such tiny amounts, it is hard to see how they have any effect whatsoever. That said, people do seem to feel better by taking them, so even if this is just a placebo effect you may find some benefit to this iconic supplement.
No side effects are foreseen.
Bach Rescue Pastilles are not expensive, especially if you reserve them for use only in stressful situations.
Buy from the Directly From Nature website for $9.00 for a tin of 35 pastilles. Available flavours are; Blackcurrant, Orange/Elderflower, and Cranberry & Lemon.
You can also find Bach Rescue Pastilles via Amazon USA for $5.68.
Bach Rescue Pastilles are also on sale via Amazon UK for £4.75. In the UK the most popular flavour is Blackcurrant, but the other flavours are also available.
It’s not scientific or proven or even very sensible, but we quite like Bach Rescue Pastilles. The Bach Flower remedies have been around a long time and are still popular with customers. There are literally thousands of customer reviews, and many people do find that Bach remedies are a handy stress buster that can help though difficult situations without adverse effects. Who knows! You could find yourself in this group too.
That said, we cannot recommend them as a serious nootropic. There is just no real scientific evidence for homeopathy, or for the science of plant vibrations being passed through water in order to provide mental benefits. But if you believe in it and spend time chewing the pastille as an antidote to stress, you may find that it helps. The placebo effect should never be underestimated after all.
However in all fairness to the Watchdog readers, we do not recommend Bach Rescue Pastilles.

Bach Rescue Pastilles are sweets that deliver the benefits of Rescue Remedy in an easy to take candy form. The pastilles are available in a choice of flavours; Blackcurrant, Orange/Elderflower, and Cranberry & Lemon. The idea is that you take a pastille in order to reduce stress when you are experiencing a stressful situation, such as receiving bad news, an accident, or preparing for an exam or job interview.
According to the product information, many celebrities and stars such as Van Morrison, Emma Watson, and Martha Stewart use Rescue Remedy in various forms to calm performance nerves.
Bach Flower Remedies are based on the work of Dr Edward Bach, an English doctor, herbalist, and bacteriologist. Dr Bach began to research flower remedies in 1930, basing his findings on homeopathy and intuitive feelings he had about the various plants. He often investigated the spiritual healing properties of a plant by holding his hand over it, and deciding if he had a negative or positive emotion to it. He believed that adding spring water to a plant tincture transferred the power of the plant to the water.
As a qualified doctor he understood about germs and pathogens, but he wondered why a pathogen could affect some people, yet others in similar state of health appeared to be unaffected. It is a good question that as yet has not been answered by science.
He surmised that illness was a sign of conflict within the body and caused by emotional stress and blockages, so looked to plants to heal the personality conflict and therefore improve immunity to disease. He called this plant vibration research.
Today, many people follow the findings of Dr Bach. The Bach Foundation, based in the UK from the house he once lived in offers training courses in his practices. It is of course very much in the alternative category of healing, but many people believe in it with Bach Rescue Remedy the best known flower remedy.

“Bach Rescue Pastilles contain the same combination of flower essences used in Rescue, but in a soothing pastille”
Bach Rescue Pastilles Natural Stress Relief, have been especially formulated using the Original Bach Flower Remedy™ formula for use by the whole family, including children.

Rescue Pastilles are ideal for coping with exam stress, driving tests, first day of school nerves, job interviews, and high pressure environments.
The funky tin with an easy “press on the lid” opening and closing mechanism. It is easy to take anywhere and with natural flavoring, safe for use by the whole family.
Rescue Remedy Pastilles are made with Rescue Remedy original flower extracts.
They might make you feel a little better. If nothing else, taking a few minutes to chew on a sweet is certainly better for health than some other stress management methods, such as smoking. We always prefer a cup of sweet tea for shock, but it is not always convenient to make tea and is probably more of an English response to just about everything, anyway.
Lots of people really love Bach Rescue Remedy and if it makes you feel better in taking it, then yes, it works. However there is no real reason why it should work as described. The whole area of homeopathy is regarded as quack medicine by the medical profession. Simply put, if you believe in it, it may work but is most likely a placebo.
Each pastille is equal to one serving.
Bach Rescue Remedy is formulated from five plant ingredients as specified by Dr Bach. Each of these is diluted x 5. According to homeopaths, the more you dilute the original substance, the more effective it is.
Rescue Pastilles Active Ingredients:
Other ingredients include natural flavourings and colourings. This is the ingredients profile for the blackcurrant flavour.
There should not be any side effects to taking these pastilles.
Caution:
We cannot see any issues with anyone taking these pastilles. However if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is always a good idea to ask a medical professional before use.

Drug free calming. What could be better?
The best natural remedy
Works like a charm!
Amazing. The effect is like Xanax for me, only less jolting with the onset. I had two and actually got a little sleepy, the pastilles were so soothing. I got these as a Christmas gift from a family friend and would not have tried them otherwise. Very thankful to have them! This flavor is great, too.
Great item for helping to calm me down before my driving lessons
Not all customer opinion is as positive. Many people have not noticed any difference.
Taste nice but did nothing for me stress relief wise.
As one might imagine given that this is fraudulent pseudo-science, this doesn’t actually do anything for you. Unless you’ve got a very strong placebo response and this works for you, in which case forget everything I said. ..
These did nothing for me. I even ate the whole box in one day with my 8 year old. We felt nothing lol! Don’t waste your money.
This customer seems to have hit the nail on the head saying,
I’m not sure if it works or it’s placebo effect but I love them and I keep buying them!
Many other satisfied customers feel the same.
