Bach Flowers Chicory N°8

What is a floral elixir according to Dr. Bach?

Dr. Edward Bach (1886-1936) assumed that certain negative emotional states can have a detrimental effect on our bodily well-being. Thus, rather than directly relieving a physical dysfunction, he advocated the restoration of a psychological balance based on the use of 38 different flowers with harmonizing and positive strength.

This method does not claim to be the solution to all the physical or moral inconveniences that can be encountered but it can play a significant supporting role in case of emotional imbalance.

Overview

This flower is for those who are too interested in the needs of others. They take care of children, parents, friends and always find something that is wrong. They criticize that and claim that they can put everything back in place. They are possessive, indiscreet and consider others to be their property. It is easy to recognize yourself in this category of people and find the right remedy. The signage of Wild Chicory impressed by nature medicatrix is similar. One has the impression of being indispensable, irreplaceable. This herbaceous plant has been for centuries a vegetable and a valuable forage. Its flowering period is very long and it grows vigorously.

Its bright blue flower expresses disinterestedness, self-denial and spirituality. She can be defined as an angel with a heart of gold who watches to help others. For those interested in the affairs of others, blue eliminates or mitigates anything that could be impure, possessive, dishonest, intriguing, infectious, skeptical. It gives a certain dimension to the effect of the stamens, whose purple color symbolizes slags of a refined selfishness that can be hidden behind a selfless love. The green of the leaves, symbolizes mother earth, protects anxious women by avoiding becoming boring or possessive. Green means self-esteem, authentic expressiveness, fidelity to its convictions in its positive aspects, but also excessive presumption, pride in its negative aspects. In the positive Chicory type, which is contained as energetic power in Bach's floral remedy, we witness the realization of authentic spiritual altruism, true love, oblation, selflessness, without ulterior motives or reservations.
