For the homeopathy-inclined, Dr. Edward Bach’s Rescue Remedy is considered a savior, helping to minimize stress and anxiety with just a few simple drops placed on the back of the tongue. The brand’s new all-natural Balm claims to do the same thing for stressed lips and cuticles, eliminating roughness and preventing cracking while also fostering a certain level of calm. Formulated with a blend of the floral healing agents in the original elixir—including Star of Bethlehem extracts to ease agitation and cherry plum extracts to allay “irrational thoughts”—the topical salve also features crab apple extracts, which operate as a cleansing essence. A base of sunflower seed oil, beeswax, calendula flower oil and vitamin E provide a heavy dose of moisture. The little clear pot has definitely been helpful in soothing our increasingly parched pout as the weather vacillates between fall and winter. But our nerves are still kind of shot; no amount of lip balm can relieve the anxiety of knowing that six straight months of cold darkness will soon consume New York City. Luckily, there’s always light therapy.
