Chicory Bach Flower Essence
Chicory is used for people who are over possessive, they may martyr themselves because of their need to over protect and take care of those close to them but this could feel more stifling and controlling to the other person leading to them rejecting or pushing the chicory person away leaving them feeling rejected and under-appreciated.
The chicory person is loving and kind and are at their happiest when they feel needed by others but can be easily hurt when their caring actions are not appreciated by others causing feelings of rejection which can lead to possessiveness in their attempt hold onto people who are pulling away from them.
Chicory Bach flower essence can help a chicory person to release the need to be needed by others and to love and care for others unconditionally without the need to be ‘rewarded’ for this with attention and affection.

DOSAGE
DROPS
4 drops x 4 times per day preferably on an empty stomach.
Using a dropper to put the drops straight on or under the tongue.
Hold in the mouth for a few seconds before swallowing for maximum benefit.
Try not to let the dropper touch the tongue as this will transfer digestive enzymes back into the bottle.
If the symptoms are particularly acute you can increase the dosage to 4 drops every 10 – 30 minutes until you notice the symptoms improving.
Can be taken as often as it feels necessary but a minimum of 4 times per day to start feeling the benefits.
Alternatively, in acute cases you can add 2 drops to a drink, such as water or juice and sip frequently refilling as needed.
Note: Safe to use for babies, simply add the drops into the baby’s bottle.
SIDE EFFECTS
It’s very rare for Flower Remedies to have any side effects, however in rare cases people can experience what is known as 'aggravation', this is simply that the original symptoms are temporarily intensified and you may feel worse for a short period of time before you start to notice benefits.
