    Hi Paula,

    I think a few women have said bachs rescue remedy is good for anxiety.

    I have never tried kalms but my mum always had a bottle of rescue remedy in her bag. I used to use it before I went to the dentist.

      Zigangie............whats that Bachs rescue remedy, is it a cold remedy, or is it specifically for calming us down?? never heard of that, sounds good but not heard of that in UK shops, have heard of kalms hit and miss results again horses for courses so to speak.

      Jane has answered your question. I used to tease my mum that she was a hippy using flower juice, one day her homeopath was at her house and told be lots of actors use it to prevent stage fright, so I used it for the dentist appointment. I can't remember if it helped it was quite a few years ago. I've seen a few people use it since. Not too expensive so it's worth a try.

    Hi ... yes, I find they have worked for me, during the day but not for insomnia.

    I went through a pretty rough period, personal matters, and used Kalms regularly...they just seemed to take the edge off my anxiety and not at all addictive.

    Always have a bottle in cupboard, but haven't needed to take for a year or so.

    Reccommended!
