With the clocks going forward, it can take some weeks to adjust to the change, and you may find that it is difficult to drop off to sleep at night, or that you are suffering from fatigue during the day. Rescue Night is a combination of the five Bach Flower Essences found in Rescue Remedy, plus White Chestnut, designed to promote a peaceful night’s sleep. Rescue Night is suitable for all the family and can be taken while pregnant, or when caring for a new baby. However, as with all medication you should check with your doctor or midwife first. Rescue Night is available as drops €7.95, liquid melts €9.95, or spray €10.95, from health stores and pharmacies; www.nelsonsnaturalworld.com
