Here is a study done at the Center for Improvement of Health Sciences of the Zerbini Foundation using flower essences for anxiety. According to the study, "Most people (80%) who used the floral essences referred that, even when confronted with stressful events, they managed to stay calm, with clear ideas and concentrated. Others (60%) indicated that they started to feel less irritated and impatient towards situations that normally bothered them. Concerning the physical aspect, the most mentioned differences were improved sleeping pattern (40%), decreased headaches (26.6%) and muscle pain (20%)."
We believe the flowers used in the Stay Calm blend are much better targeted than the flowers used in the study, although White Chestnut is a common denominator.
