Characteristics
Chicory is the well-known salad, the root of which is used for mixing with coffee. It has been proved, and the following symptoms have been observed: General heaviness. Headache. Weight at stomach and great indisposition to bodily and mental exertion. Want of energy. Bowels relaxed. When taken in infusion like coffee, it acts as a gentle aperient. A chicory-roaster observed that he "could not read at night, not from any external irritation of the eyes, but from a feeling of deadness in them."
