Chicory was cultivated in Egypt, irrigated by the flooding of the Nile about 5,000 years ago. It is the oldest, most compete herb we have. In the United States, chicory is so common on roadsides, it is hard to believe it is not native. In the 1940s, a research project determined that two of the bitter substances in chicory, lactucin and lactucporin, acted as a sedative on the central nervous systems of rabbits and mice. It is considered by herbalists to be a mild tonic, diuretic, and laxative.
