The blossom of the Cherry Plum is for the dreadful fear of losing control. The fear of madness, insanity, of doing something out of character, something irrational or the sudden urge to do harm to oneself or another. This person may be afraid to be alone, yet also be afraid to be with others in case they should break down, become hysterical or lose all sense of reason. This essence helps the sufferer to find peace and sanity despite their tortuous thoughts, thus restoring calm and reason.
