Chicory - Cichorium intybus

People who need Chicory, recurringly need confirmation, because they are even certain of themselves and their inner values. Without inner self-esteem they demand recognition, gratitude and love to fill that inner gap. They sacrifice themselves for others - but also set conditions which act as restraints on them.

Chicory want other people to be bound by love, helpfulness and gifts, but this is exactly what drives others away.

This essence teaches to give without offset, to love without expecting anything in return. Chicory frees the martyrs to let others be free. Who you let go will return, who you try to keep will go.
