I am never without rescue remedy in my first aid kit. That's about as far as I've gone with using Flower remedies, however I just know it'll be something I'll be looking into in the near future.

I have notr used any of the individual essences, but use the Rescue Remedy daily in my coffee or cold drinks and their Sleep Aid at night. I give the RR to my doggies when they need to go to the vet as they get seriously upset when riding in the car.
