Christmas plum-people/children have a lot of inner turmoil, they feel like they are sitting on a powder keg or think they could explode at any moment.
They have a panic fear of losing their self-control and thereby harming another person or themselves.
They may also suffer from compulsions and delusions, sometimes as if dark, negative and destructive forces are at work.
This often shows itself in their behaviour in the form of hyperventilation, teeth grinding or nail biting, constant fidgeting, tension in the jaws, a feeling of agitation, compulsive throat clearing, nervous itching, nervous twitching. Associated inner turmoil and/or inner restlessness is based on extreme inner pressure due to repression of negative emotions.
The blossom remedy Cherry Plum makes the compulsive disappear, you no longer have to bite your nails, or grind your teeth, and allows you to breathe deeper and better.
The panicked fear of losing all self-control, which can drive you to the brink of despair, dissolves.
Through the blossom remedy Christmas plum disappears hyperventilation, however, the real cause often lies deeper.
The cause of hyperventilation, teeth grinding, nail biting etc is usually in the past due to trauma. Birth may be responsible for this. And by this I mean birth complications like vacuum extraction, forceps birth, umbilical cord around the neck, caesarean section or a birth that was artificially initiated. Or any other trauma, which somehow hasn't been processed properly and later shows itself as a huge inner tension of which you sometimes don't know the cause (anymore).
Physically, this can show itself by complaints in the lower left back starting at the 4th lumbar vertebra and ending at the tailbone.
The flower remedy Cherry Plum has a relationship with the triple warmer meridian. According to the traditional teachings of Chinese acupuncture, this is a purely fine-material organ, for which no pendant (equal) can be found at the coarse-material level.
