The flower essences (Mother Tinctures) used in RESCUE Remedy® are still made at the Bach Centre in Mount Vernon, Oxfordshire using the methods developed by Dr Bach over 70 years ago. They are then sent to our factory in Wimbledon where they are diluted with brandy (legally declared as 27% grape alcohol) and bottled in a licensed manufacturing facility to the highest quality standard.
There are 3 key steps involved in manufacturing RESCUE Remedy®:
Step 1
The five Mother Tinctures are made from plant material or flower heads and natural spring water using either the Sun or Boiling methods as laid out by Dr Bach. The sun method is used to make the remedies derived from the most delicate flowers that bloom in the height of summer. The boiling method is used for the remedies from trees, bushes and plants most of which flower in the early part of the year.
Step 2
The flowers are removed from the potentised water which is then filtered and mixed with an equal part of 40% brandy, this makes the Mother Tincture. The brandy acts purely as a preservative and is a non-active ingredient.
Step 3
The Mother Tinctures are sent from Oxfordshire to Nelsons’ bottling plant in London. Here the Mother Tincture is diluted with 27% grape alcohol (the legal name for brandy at this strength) to produce the finished product you buy at the shops.
