According to a 2002 study, inulin may lower ones risk of developing colon cancer. It also helps maintain strong bones and teeth by improving calcium and magnesium absorption and prevent heart disease by lowering "bad" cholesterol and triglyceride levels.  Chicory root can be used as a diuretic to remove toxins and excess water from the body. It is also said to improve appetite and digestion, treat dyspepsia (indigestion), relieve constipation, treat liver and gallbladder disorders, and slow a rapid heartbeat.  Chicory Root has diuretic properties that provide protection for the urinary tract system and kidneys. Toxins are removed and the cleansing of the body is stimulated because of an increase in urine flow. Other benefits include indigestion relief, and relief from diarrhea and gastritis.
