Badoh is the essence of inner reconciliation.
It acts as a bridge between the repressed emotions of the inner child and the calm strength of the conscious adult.
This floral essence helps to express what has been held back, censored, or silenced, and to give voice back to that vulnerable part of oneself that has not been heard.
In the Amazonian tradition, Badoh is a master plant of the creative word.
It connects speech to the truth of the heart, opening the throat chakra and freeing the flow of expression between emotion, consciousness, and action.
By promoting the release of repressed emotions, it restores the natural circulation between feeling, expression, and action.
By acting on memories of shame, fear, and injustice, it brings back the legitimacy of being oneself — without having to justify or conform.
Badoh is the flower essence for those who have long silenced their emotions to avoid conflict, who feel intensely but dare not say it, or who struggle to find their place.
On a symbolic level, Badoh works on the relationship between the inner child and the animus, the inner masculine principle described by Jung.
The child represents sensitivity, emotion, and spontaneity.
The animus embodies structure, direction, and the ability to set boundaries.
When these two dimensions reconcile, speech becomes just, expression fluid, and presence aligned.
“When the inner child feels heard, the adult regains their voice.”
The teaching of the plant
Badoh teaches the power of conscious expression.
It reminds us that just speech does not hurt: it enlightens.
When one remains silent too long, emotional energy accumulates, blocks, and eventually transforms into tension, fear, or somatization.
By restoring the natural flow from feeling to speech, Badoh returns to the word its creative and healing power.
It guides us toward authentic expression — one that comes from the heart, without trying to convince or please, but simply to be true.
“Truth does not make noise. It resonates.”
