NaturalSoul Botanicals - Chicory

Cichorium intybus

Historical Aspects:

Chicory, scientifically known as Cichorium intybus, has a long history of medicinal use across Europe, North America, and Asia. In ancient Egypt, it was used for its digestive and liver-supporting properties. The plant was valued in Roman times for its ability to promote healthy digestion and as a remedy for liver disorders, including jaundice. Additionally, chicory was utilized for its mild diuretic and anti-inflammatory effects.

Chicory also became known in the 19th and 20th centuries as a coffee substitute, particularly in times of scarcity, as its roasted root produces a flavor similar to coffee when brewed. The medicinal properties of chicory continued to be recognized in herbalism, particularly for its digestive benefits, and in Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine, it has been used to treat various gastrointestinal issues, including indigestion, bloating, and constipation.

Energetic and Vibrational Essence:

• Emotional Balance: Chicory is known for its ability to help heal possessiveness, selfishness, and overprotectiveness. It works to ease the emotional burden of needing constant reassurance from others.
• Self-Love and Acceptance: Chicory supports those who feel neglected, unappreciated, or unloved, encouraging the individual to cultivate self-love and improve their emotional independence.
• Releasing Control: Helps release control-based behaviors and the desire to manipulate situations, enabling a more relaxed approach to relationships and life.
• Nurturing: Provides a sense of emotional security and nurturance, particularly for those who feel emotionally neglected or overly dependent on others.
• Compassionate Growth: Aids in developing empathy and compassion, particularly in learning to give without expectations and letting go of manipulative tendencies.

Other Uses:

• Suited for people who remain in the selfish, self-centred stage of development characteristic of your children 5-6
• Used for developmental problems that remain stuck
• those who are childishness, selfishness, emotional immaturity, needy, clingy, dependent

Chakra Alignment:

• Heart Chakra (Anahata): Chicory is closely linked with the Heart Chakra, working to balance the energy of love, compassion, and emotional balance. It can assist in healing issues around giving and receiving love and support.
• Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura): Chicory’s ability to foster emotional independence and release control issues ties it to the Solar Plexus Chakra, which governs personal power, self-esteem, and confidence.
• Root Chakra (Muladhara): It also aligns with the Root Chakra, offering grounding and support for those who may feel insecure or ungrounded in their emotional connections and need a solid foundation to feel safe in relationships.

Chicory’s energetic essence is especially helpful for individuals who struggle with emotional dependency or are overly controlling in their relationships. It encourages self-nurturance, emotional independence, and the development of healthier ways to give and receive love. Its ability to balance the Heart and Solar Plexus Chakras makes it a powerful ally for those seeking to transform emotional patterns and embrace more compassionate, balanced relationships.
