Chicory Bach Flower

Chicory is for people who are overly possessive and whose care for others is self-centred and manipulative. These strong-willed people expect other people to conform to their values; they may be critical, interfering and nagging. They find it hard to give without expecting anything in return. They dislike being alone and demand constant attention and service as a duty: typical is the possessively domineering parent who keeps adult children under his or her thumb. Although strong, they are self-pitying and easily offended. Some Chicory people will feign illness in order to gain attention - for example, the possessive parent who manifests 'heart pains' whenever a daughter tries to leave home. They are often very talkative, opinionated and argumentative. Chicory is also good for children who make constant and unreasonable demands for attention.
