Bach Flower Essence Research

What a Peer-Reviewed Study Found About Bach Rescue Remedy in Animals

Flower essences have been used with animals for decades. Now there is peer-reviewed research to go alongside that experience.

A 2014 study published in the journal Complementary Therapies in Medicine examined Bach flower Rescue Remedy in a randomized longitudinal experiment on rats. The researchers measured biological markers and found meaningful results. Rats receiving Rescue Remedy showed improvements in blood sugar levels, triglycerides, and HDL cholesterol. The authors concluded that the findings provide preliminary proof of concept that Bach Rescue Remedy may produce real biological effects.

Rats are animals. Animal research is where science begins before broader conclusions can be drawn. These results open the door to further study across species.

Flower essence ingredients are generally recognized as safe when assembled using Good Manufacturing Practices. Calm Animal Solutions follows Good Manufacturing Practices in every blend.

Bach Flower Rescue Remedy Showed Measurable Biological Effects in Animals

A 2014 paper published in Complementary Therapies in Medicine studied the preventive use of Bach flower Rescue Remedy in a randomized longitudinal experiment on rats. The authors found that animals receiving Rescue Remedy showed measurable improvements in blood sugar levels, triglycerides, and HDL cholesterol. The researchers described their findings as preliminary proof of concept that Bach Rescue Remedy may exert real biological effects, opening the door to further research across species.
