Rescue Remedy For Horses

Background To Using Flower Essence

Dr Bach MD pioneered the use of flower essences in the 1930s as homeopathic type remedies to treat the emotions, which has ultimately led to the use of rescue remedy for horses.

Based at Mount Vernon, the home and workplace of Dr Edward Bach during the years when he completed research into his flower remedy system.

“When we have given the freedom to every creature, everything around us, then we are free ourselves ” – Dr Edward Bach, 1932

Recuse Remedy For Horses

Rescue remedy is the most famous of all of Bach’s remedies, and is actually a trademarked product, but is commonly used to describe a specific combination of Bach flowers.

You may sometimes see this called “five flowers” remedy. It is often the same thing – A bit like buying Neurofen or generic Ibuprofen.

Like other Bach flower remedies, it is a tincture of five of the Bach flowers, combining Rock Rose, Impatients, Clematis, Star of Bethlehem and Cherry Plum which is designed to calm the nerves and reduce anxiety. A rescue remedy for horses and riders!

How Much Rescue Remedy Can I Give My Horse

The Bach website advises 10 drops of rescue remedy for horses, and larger animals, into a water container.

Whilst this advice appears a bit vague, there is little overdose risk.
