I\u2019ve heard it from educators time and again. We\u2019re overwhelmed, stressed, exhausted, and irritable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I was recently at the doctor&#8217;s office, and we were talking about teacher stress. He said, &#8220;The number one reason I see patients is for the common cold, and the number two reason is stress. And the people I see most for stress are teachers!&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019ll bet you know what he\u2019s talking about. Have you ever felt overwhelmed? Exhausted? Fearful that you&#8217;re losing control? On the verge of insanity when it comes to your teaching job? If so, you\u2019re certainly not alone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But I have a secret weapon against stress that I want to share with you. It\u2019s called <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bachflower.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rescue Remedy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and it\u2019s a lifesaver!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My homeopathy doctor told me about this little piece of magic several years ago. At the time I was really suffering from panic attacks, and Rescue Remedy helped me. But it&#8217;s for more than just panic attacks. It\u2019s helpful for the everyday stresses that plague all of us. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s how my family uses it: If I start feeling overwhelmed, severely irritated, or sense a breakdown coming on, I put a few drops under my tongue, and it resets my emotional system. If my son turns his ankle or gets injured in a basketball game, we put some drops under his tongue, and it speeds up the healing process. My daughter used to have tremendous anxiety about going to the dentist, so we&#8217;d give her a few drops to help her stay calm.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rescue Remedy even makes a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bachflower.com\/rescue-remedy-pet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">version for pets<\/a>. On a recent visit to the groomer, our dogs\u2019 prescribed anxiety medication, Amitriptyline, just wasn\u2019t enough to calm them on its own. I gave them each a few drops of Rescue Remedy, and they were good to go!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I know it may sound crazy, but Rescue Remedy is totally natural and totally AMAZING. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s made from just the juices of flowers, so it\u2019s safe to use. (There\u2019s a teeny bit of alcohol in it, too, but not enough to get you in trouble. And it&#8217;s natural grape alcohol, so really, no worries!)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are the ingredients, and the benefits each offers: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rock Rose for confidence and composure<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Impatiens for patience and tolerance<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clematis for focus and motivation<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Star of Bethlehem for comfort and reassurance<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cherry Plum for self-control and stability <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">OK, you might be laughing. But you won\u2019t be when you try it!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A couple of years back, I was running with my friend, Eric, and he turned his ankle. This had happened to him before, and he\u2019d usually be forced to limp around for two weeks. When we returned home from our run, I gave him Rescue Remedy. He thought it was some kind of witchcraft, but he tried it anyway. And then he texted me 30 minutes later to tell me his ankle was almost completely better! \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And years ago, I had a principal who\u2019d have me run down to her office with my Rescue Remedy if she had an angry parent coming in. It helped her remain calm and grounded during the conversation. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bottom line: Rescue Remedy is amazing, and every teacher and administrator should keep this secret potion in their desks! It helps you deal with stresses or emergency situations in a better frame of mind, and who the heck doesn&#8217;t need that? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rescue Remedy will change your life. You can thank me later.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>P.S. Just a little disclaimer \u2026 I am in no way affiliated with Rescue Remedy, nor am I compensated by the company for my opinions about their product. (I&#8217;m just a big fan!) And though Rescue Remedy is a natural product, as with any supplement, it&#8217;s always a good idea to check in with your doctor before starting use.
