Chicory is a plant. Its roots and dried, above-ground parts are used to make medicine. Chicory is used for loss of appetite, upset stomach, constipation, liver and gallbladder disorders, cancer, 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.
The flowers and leaves may be used in salads and flavored vinegars. They are also used in healing tonics in some parts of the world. Each chicory plant has a single, long, thick root (known as a 'tap root'). Chicory root is roasted before it is brewed, but it can also be boiled and eaten like a vegetable.
