Chicory is a herb that is specific for the liver, gall bladder and spleen. It supports the liver, promotes the formation of bile and removes excess fluid from the body - which is usually accumulated when the liver is malfunctioning. This herb is also an excellent blood purifier for conditions such as acne, itchy and scaly rashes and eczema. Chicory has also been used as a drink to help in the elimination of gall stones and for the elimination of internal mucus. It is also used for gastritis, poor appetite (It won't increase your appetite if it is already ok) and digestive difficulties. Chicory is a plant from the same family as dandelion.
