I think they were confiscated by Customs, I didn't receive them.
I was in Cape Town last September and had a box and they were so helpful after my hernia surgery.
Thank you for contacting me.

Product Overview
Natura Rescue (25ml) is a trusted, complex homeopathic medicine designed to provide rapid relief from emotional shock, acute anxiety, and stress-induced sleeplessness. This "First Aid for the Soul" formula is a South African household staple, frequently used to restore calm and balance during life's more difficult moments. It is non-habit forming and does not cause the "hangover" effect or drowsiness often associated with pharmaceutical sedatives.
What the Product Is Used For
- Emotional Shock: Provides immediate support after receiving bad news, witnessing an accident, or undergoing a traumatic event.
- Acute Anxiety: Calms the "fight or flight" response during panic attacks, stage fright, or high-pressure situations (like exams or interviews).
- Stress-Induced Sleeplessness: Helps quiet an overactive mind to facilitate falling asleep naturally.
- Grief & Sorrow: Offers gentle emotional stabilization during periods of mourning or intense sadness.
- Restlessness & Irritability: Soothes a frazzled nervous system when feeling overwhelmed by daily life.
Key Benefits
- Rapid Absorption: The liquid oral spray/drops format enters the bloodstream quickly through the mucous membranes for fast-acting relief.
- 100% Natural & Gentle: Prepared according to traditional homeopathic principles, making it safe for the whole family, including children and infants.
- Non-Drowsy: Unlike traditional tranquilizers, it calms the nerves without impairing mental clarity or motor coordination.
- Safe for Long-Term Use: Can be used as needed for acute symptoms or taken over a longer period during chronic stress.
- Safe in Combination: Does not have known contraindications with conventional medications.
Active Ingredients (Homeopathic Complex)
Natura Rescue contains a synergistic blend of the following (at 6CH/30CH potencies):
- Ambra grisea: Used for emotional sensitivity and the feeling of being "overwhelmed" in social or stressful settings.
- Banisteriopsis caapi: Helps soothe the nervous system and calm racing thoughts.
- Clematis vitalba: (One of the Bach Flower remedies) Addresses the "spaced-out" feeling often associated with shock.
- Rock Rose (Helianthemum): Targets extreme terror and panic.
- Star of Bethlehem (Ornithogalum): Used specifically for the neutralizing effects of trauma and grief.
- Cherry Plum (Prunus): Helps with the fear of losing control during a stressful episode.

Warnings / Safety Information
