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 again 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 links speech to the truth of the heart, opening the throat chakra and freeing the flow of expression between feeling, awareness, and action.
By encouraging the release of repressed emotions, it restores the natural flow between feeling, expression, and action.
By working on memories of shame, fear, and injustice, it brings back the right to be oneself — without having to justify or conform.
Badoh is the floral essence for those who have long kept their feelings silent to avoid conflict, who feel deeply but dare not speak, 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 flows, and presence is aligned.
“When the inner child feels heard, the adult finds their voice.”
The teaching of the plant
Badoh teaches the power of conscious expression.
It reminds us that true speech does not wound: it enlightens.
When one remains silent too long, emotional energy builds up, blocks, and eventually turns into tension, fear, or physical symptoms.
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.”
