Medicinal Plants - Emma Vanderbilt
Introduction
In modern society, we have partly lost our ancestors’ wisdom and profound link to nature. Many of the plants around us have unknown uses and could be maximized if used correctly. Either raw, in infusions, concoctions or ointments, plants are true allies when it comes to improving our health, treating or preventing illnesses; and some of the results are astonishing.
The medical industry uses plants for preparing extracts, drugs and medicine. However, in their natural state they can also be used to activate and accelerate certain processes in the body, enhance the immune system and produce therapeutic effects. The healing parts of certain vegetables’ often used are the roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits and berries. However, not all components should be used in all cases, as some may be toxic. Apart from using them in medicine, they may be used when cooking, especially the aromatic plants which contain therapeutic qualities; and may replace the excessive use of salt, serving as a healthy and natural condiment.

Chicory
Chicory can be eaten raw in salads, in spite of its bitter taste, and has a high concentration of Vitamin A and B9. A chicory salad should be prepared using its leaves and the tender stems can also be used. It is a cooling therapeutic plant, which improves digestion and also works well as a laxative and diuretic.
It is recommended for liver problems, mainly because it purifies the blood and kidneys. Chicory is used to stimulate appetite and to treat anemia. It works well for digestive problems, skin disorders, rheumatism and gout. It purifies the kidneys, the spleen and the liver and it works well when treating gallstone colic. The leaves may be boiled and used when bathing to treat skin conditions. For therapeutic concoctions, the roots must dried and cut. The ailing body part should be rubbed using its juice. When treating gallstones, 15 grams of root should be boiled using 1 cup of water for 3 minutes and taken 3 times a day. For kidney stones, on the other hand, the infusion should be prepared by adding 15 grams of leaves in a hot water mug and letting it rest, taking 1 cup, 3 times a day. If a liver inflammation occurs, the root should be boiled for 10 minutes (40 grams per liter of water).
