When feeling a loss of control over one's actions, thoughts, and words, the Bach Flower Cherry Plum contains an aqueous extract of Prunus cerasifera. In common parlance, it is called cherry plum, myrobalan plum, or simply "myrobalan." Native to Southwest Asia and Southeast Europe, it appears as a shrub that can reach between five and ten meters in height when mature. Its five-petaled flowers with golden stamens and its oval, serrated leaves cover its bare branches at the same time towards the end of winter or the beginning of spring. The clusters of bright white flowers generally offer a striking contrast with the very dark branches of the myrobalan plum: they literally seem to light up the darkness. Towards the end of summer, the shrub then becomes laden with red fruits, quite similar to cherries. Edible, they are often used to make jams. Hardy, Prunus cerasifera tolerates temperatures below 0°C. It can be grown in almost any type of soil (including chalky soils), as long as it has a sunny location. In France, it is often used as a "rootstock" for other types of plum trees, such as the Damascus plum.
Adults: 2 drops in a glass of water or on the tongue 4 times a day.
Non-medicinal ingredients: Grape alcohol 27% v/v, aqueous solution of prunus ceracifera flowers (dilution 1/500).
