Chicory is characterised by its bitterness, which acts on the digestive system, increasing the flow of bile and reducing the heat of congestion. Chicory supports the process of breaking down food and absorbing its nutrients. It is considered blood cleansing and acts as a gentle decongestant.

Chicory is used for loss of appetite, upset stomach, constipation, liver and gallbladder disorders and rapid heartbeat. It is also used as a “tonic,” to increase urine production, to protect the liver, and to balance the stimulant effect of coffee.
