Cichorium intybus, or Chicory tea - is known as a blood purifier due to being rich in vitamins A, C, B, K and P. This is the roasted root variety, and has gained much popularity recently as a coffee substitute/replacement.
This roasted tea can also be used as a safe and mild laxative for children - just add some honey to make it go down easier! The fourth and final use of this tea is the reduction of PMS symptoms.
