is by a naturopath and alternative medicine specialist, and is quite scathing about Rescue Remedy.

I note that RR has brandy in it. Have you tried a tiny drop of brandy in his water bowl? (Warning: I have no idea if alcohol is safe for dogs. And go easy on the booze; getting a hyperactive dog drunk is only slightly less stupid than giving an elephant LSD.)

ETA and for human use, are you just snorting/inhaling a quick puff of atomised alcohol?
