Who is Naomi Klein and why does she put a couple of drops of an all-natural flower remedy under her silver tongue from time to time?
Naomi Klein is a Canadian journalist, author and activist well known for her political analyses of corporate globalization.
Naomi Klein’s book “Shock Doctrine” has hit the bestseller lists in the United States, Canada, Italy and Germany.
Ms. Kline exposes a world in turmoil due to natural and man-made disasters which bring misery, dislocation, confusion and disempowerment to millions of people.
She documents how catastrophes make us vulnerable to political and business profiteers who stand in the ready, poised to take advantage. Her solution is “be aware” of the means of exploitation when facing a real or made-up crisis and remain calm and in control of your emotions. How does Ms. Kline retain her calm? She takes her bottle of Rescue Remedy when on duty to troubled spots in the world.
Rescue Remedy is a natural and non-habit forming homeopathic remedy in used for over 70 years that is based on the research of the English physician Dr. Edward Bach. Rescue Remedy offers relief from the emotional causes of stress and leaves one with a clear mind and a calm disposition.
According to Bettina Rasmussen, North America CEO of BachFlower.com, Rescue Remedy is valued by our men and women in uniform in the war in Iraq who shun chemical anti-depressant products like Prozac.
All chemical anti-depressants are known to have side-effects. One does not have to face the threats of death or dismemberment as is the case with our soldier or post traumatic stress and fear from the likes of 9/11 to feel emotionally provoked stress. Cate Blanchett, Jennifer Anniston, ABC’s the View Meredith Vieira, LPGA golf pro Kris Tschetter, and many political and public figures over the last 70 years have come to rely on Bach Flower homeopathic remedies for their emotional wellbeing and peace of mind.
The later days of the “Shock Doctrine” takes us through a spirit dampening journey through suspected Blackwater, Abu Gharib and other abuses. Speaking about her visit to Iraq she said. “A lot of reporters were on Valium.” Around that time she noticed a friend putting droplets of some sort into a glass of water. Intrigued, she found that the potion was Rescue Remedy, a homeopathic treatment developed in the 1930s and meant, the label says, “for relief of occasional stress.”
She tried it. Soon enough, the little dropper-top bottle was a constant presence in her bag. She wasn’t hooked exactly, but, well, let’s call it charmed. “It’s very, very mild, especially if you dilute it,” she said. “I use it if I’m having trouble sleeping, or before a speech if I’m tense.”
It would be ironic if we resorted to chemical anti-depressant to remain calm and out of the reach of manipulation by profiteers only to become enslaved to chemical substances with known harmful side-effects. Bettina Rasmussen (BFRP) from BachFlower.com points out that Rescue Remedy and other natural Bach Flower remedies are safe for pregnant women and infants and are a regular feature of Mothering Magazine, the pre-eminent health conscious magazine for expectant and new mothers in Canada and the United States. BachFlower.com has now introduced Rescue Remedy Pastilles – all natural stress relief in a delicious flavor. The Rescue Remedy Pastilles are made of the same formula as the drops and spray but now include the chewable pastilles in an easy to carry tin.
