Chicory: Many of the blue Summer flowers blooming along the waysides and highways in North America are Chicory flowers. Confederate troops, during the U.S. Civil War, no able longer get a steady supply of coffee, instead roasted Chicory root. To this day, some folks still add this roasted root to their coffee or, happily, drink it instead of coffee. Far from just a good beverage, the herb delights the body. Liver, kidneys, spleen, lymphatics, stomach and urinary pathways are relieved and disgorged of their morbid wastes with unroasted Chicory root. A substance called inulin (a carbohydrate fiber), which does not require the pancreas gland to produce insulin and thus, normalizes the blood sugar levels, providing the hypoglycemic and the diabetic with a non-irritating source of food. Liver bile (gall) is stimulated and heart disorders are helped; joint stiffness, gout and skin eruptions are reduced by neutralizing uric acid. Stomach juice secretion is balanced, restoring digestive function.
