Plant characteristics:

   Cherry Plum [Prunus cerasifera] is a flower that blooms in late winter in Europe. It's a small tree, which doesn't have many physical qualities like strength [like  Oak ]. Apparently fragile, it often sprouts several branches, with an appearance as if they were other trees growing from it.

Cherry Plum

   It is a remedy that Dr. Bach has grouped under the heading of remedies for fear. Cherry Plum's fear is very specific: it's the fear of losing control and doing something terrible, like hurting someone or yourself. Fear of going mad or losing reason are also Cherry Plum feelings.

   This is the floral one for when you've lost control, as this state in itself produces a kind of dreadful, frenzied fear. Think of the fear a child feels in the grip of his uncontrollable tantrum, in the face of his uncontrollable screaming and irrationality – this is definitely a Cherry Plum state.

   Cherry Plum is one of the ingredients of  emergency formula  which Dr. Bach composed.

The description of Dr. Bach

   Fear of mental exhaustion, of losing your mind, of doing terrible and fearful things that you don't want and know are wrong. Even so, comes the thought and impulse to commit them.
