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.

– The Twelve Healers and Other Remedies

Cherry Plum is grouped in "For those who have FEAR"

The Cherry Plum Bach Flower remedy, as perceived by Dr. Edward Bach, is designed to address emotional and mental states characterized by an intense fear of losing control. Dr. Bach believed that Cherry Plum could be beneficial for individuals who experience a profound sense of inner turmoil, the fear of a mental or emotional breakdown, or the fear of acting impulsively or irrationally. The remedy is intended to provide support for those facing moments of intense inner tension, allowing them to regain composure and find a more balanced emotional state.

People in need of the Cherry Plum remedy may exhibit symptoms such as a fear of losing their sanity, experiencing intense inner conflicts, or being on the verge of a breakdown. This fear may be accompanied by a sense of desperation and the fear of acting in ways that deviate from their usual self-control. The negative state that Cherry Plum seeks to address involves a feeling of inner chaos and the potential loss of rationality. Dr. Bach believed that Cherry Plum could bring about a sense of mental balance and restore a person's ability to cope with intense emotions without succumbing to irrational behavior.

Many case studies have been shared by practitioners and individuals who believe they have experienced positive outcomes. These cases are subjective and don't replace rigorous scientific validation, but they can offer insights into how people perceive the benefits of these remedies.

One case study involving Cherry Plum describes an individual who experienced episodes of intense inner turmoil and fear of losing control. These moments were marked by a profound sense of anxiety and a fear of acting irrationally. After incorporating Cherry Plum into their routine, the individual reported a reduction in the intensity of these episodes. They described feeling more composed, able to manage their emotions, and less overwhelmed by the fear of losing control.
