Cherry Plum is the remedy for the fear of losing control. Not of circumstances, but of yourself — a fear that you might snap, say something irretrievable, or act in a way that is not like you.
What Cherry Plum Is For
This remedy suits states of extreme tension where the person feels close to breaking point. It is often chosen during periods of sustained strain — sleep deprivation, prolonged caring responsibilities, intense pressure — where someone describes being at the end of their rope.
It is one of the five flowers in the emergency combination, and is frequently used for outbursts of temper that frighten the person having them.
The Emotional Picture
There is usually a great deal of effort going into holding on. The person may appear tightly controlled from outside while feeling precarious inside. Fear of one’s own impulses is the defining feature, and it is often not spoken about.
The Positive State
Cherry Plum supports composure — a settled mind that does not need to be held together by force.
How to Use
Take two pills four times a day with a minimum two-hour interval. In acute moments it can be taken more frequently. Also available in our Rescue Remedy combination.
Combining With Other Remedies
Cherry Plum combines with Rock Rose where panic is involved, with Holly where anger is the feared impulse, and with Elm where the person is temporarily overwhelmed by responsibility.
