Chicory flower essence is for those who feel deprived of love. They love to be surrounded by those they care for and may tend to fuss over them. Chicory supports tender places around abandonment and rejection that can lead to holding people so tightly they pull away, creating a vicious cycle. Chicory helps you love deeply and completely without strings attached. You're able to give generously to others while genuinely expecting nothing back. You keep healthy boundaries with others, allowing them to walk their own path. You fulfill your own needs and give from a sense of abundance. It invites a sense of security in close relationships, and once those close to you feel the release, they too are free to love with no reservations. Chicory flower essence is often chosen for children who demand attention and for children who are crying, clingy, or throwing tantrums. Chicory teaches about love; it calms neediness by pointing toward the source of unconditional love—and with that comes newfound security. 

For Animals

For the possessive, clingy, attention-demanding animal who cannot let its person out of sight. The dog who follows its owner from room to room, whining if a door closes between them. The cat who inserts itself between its owner and any other person or animal, demanding to be the center of attention. The horse who nips, paws, or pushes when the handler pays attention to another horse. Chicory addresses the deep neediness that drives this behavior, usually rooted in early deprivation of love or security. It is also extremely useful for over-protective animal mothers who fuss excessively over their young, who will not allow others near the babies, or who exhibit aggressive maternal behavior beyond what is necessary for the offspring's safety. Chicory helps the animal love deeply without the strangling grip of need, creating security from within rather than demanding it endlessly from outside. In codependent owner-animal relationships where the owner's own neediness has fed the animal's clingy behavior, Chicory works on both sides of the dynamic. The release is mutual: as the animal relaxes its grip, the owner often finds they can breathe more freely too.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are flower essences?

Flower essences are energetic remedies made by capturing the vibrational imprint of a flower in water. They're designed to help shift emotional and mental patterns by interacting with the body’s energetic field.

Are they essential oils?

Nope—totally different category. Flower essences are made using only the blossoms of a plant and are considered energetic remedies. They contain no scent and are usually taken orally. Essential oils are aromatic extracts made from various parts of a plant and act through biochemical pathways.
