The healing sources offered by nature are effective against many diseases. This miraculous plant, frequently recommended by Ibn Sina, known as the "father of medicine," both cleanses the liver and restores bone health.
This plant, which has an irreplaceable effect on the human body, grows naturally even by the roadside.
Ibn Sina’s secret to healing - Blue Chicory (Cichorium intybus)
Blue chicory (blue wound herb), which decorates the edges of fields with its blue flowers, is full of health from root to leaves. Its content of inulin, flavonoids, and phenolic substances cleanses the body from toxins and strengthens the immune system.
The natural protector of the digestive system
The roots of blue chicory are rich in a natural prebiotic called inulin. This substance regulates intestinal flora, prevents the proliferation of harmful bacteria, and facilitates the digestion process. It reduces constipation and also helps to strengthen immunity.
Cleanses the liver, supports bile production
Known as the "friend of the liver" in traditional medicine, blue chicory increases bile production thanks to its saponins and phenolic compounds. This helps the liver to remove toxins from the body and strengthens the natural detoxification process.
Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect
Blue chicory is very rich in flavonoids and polyphenols. These substances fight free radicals, slow down cell aging, and reduce chronic inflammation. Regular use helps prevent problems such as joint pain, liver fatigue, and skin aging.
Strengthens bones, prevents osteoporosis
Inulin is important not only for the intestines but also for the bones. It increases calcium absorption, thus preserving bone density and providing natural protection against bone loss, especially common in the elderly. When taken regularly, it strengthens bones and contributes to long-term health.
Renews the skin, strengthens mental activity
Thanks to its antioxidant effect, it reduces damage in skin cells, restores the skin barrier, and prevents the formation of acne and inflammation. The sesquiterpene lactones it contains are also beneficial for the nervous system – they enhance memory, increase attention, and reduce fatigue.
Blue chicory, introduced as a healing source centuries ago by Ibn Sina, is still considered one of nature’s most valuable gifts today both for liver health and strengthening bones. (Sherg.az)
