Get rescued by Bach.

Stressed? Nervous angry irritated? Depressed? Anxious exhausted repulsed? Just drink up some flower.

Sounds weird, isn't it? Mine was an accidental acquaintance with the world of Original Bach Flower Remedies a handful of months ago, when i saw a colleague squeezing a few drops from a midget bottle into her mouth. I asked her what it was and she told me. Bach remedies are extracts of various flowers whose properties include calming your nerves, righting your disposition, cheering you up - the problems are endless.

The disbelief must have shown on my face: how can a mere flower extract correct what doctors can only do with pills? But, apparently, there's a science to it and it works. Doctor Edward Bach (you were thinking the composer, weren't you?) mastered it and left the legacy behind at Mount Vernon. My colleague has several bottles that she takes based on the emotion she needs help with. Totally natural, no side effects, absolutely safe. Since she's been taking them for a while, and has sort of converted my manager to try them too, i guess i got my head around the idea and believed her.

I found it extremely fascinating, though. So once i finished talking to her, i went to the Web site and checked out the flower remedies myself. Then i saw the list of remedies that the extracts work on: the inability to say no, mental torture behind a cheerful face, drifting, resignation, apathy... my wonder has only increased since.

The products are not available in India, so you'll have to order online or get somebody to bring it for you when they come back from phoren.
