Healing Herbs – Cherry Plum – 10ml

Description

Cherry Plum is the Bach Flower Essence for fear of the mind being over-strained, of reason giving way, of doing fearful and dreaded things, not wished and known wrong, yet there comes the thought and impulse to do them. [Bach: Twelve Healers and Other Remedies 1936]

Affirmation

This drives away all wrong ideas and gives the sufferer mental strength and confidence. [Bach]

Emotional state

For desperation, fear of insanity, loss of control, an uncontrollable impulse, nervous breakdown, suicidal, obsessive fear, delusions. Symptoms usually build up over a period of time: pallor, staring eyes, agitation, sometimes nervous talk or obsessive questioning; imminent, mild insanity. [Bach]

Habitat

Cherry Plum originates from the Balkans. It is not widely naturalised and is noted as rare in some texts. It was originally brought to Britain for its fruit and as a grafting stock for cultivating more engaging domestic plums. It is more common in the south of England and usually appears in old gardens rather than in scrub woodland (where sloe will be found). When seen in a garden or hedge it will obviously have been planted there. (It has been widely introduced into hedges and as an ornamental tree.)
