In the present day, the investigation of herbal plants is essential to maintain a healthy and disease-free lifestyle by adhering to traditional medicinal systems and developing novel plant-based pharmaceuticals for a wide range of therapeutic applications. Nature provides a variety of therapeutic ingredients in the form of the versatile medicinal plant known as ‘chicory’ (Cichorium intybus). It has a wide geographical distribution (mostly in Asia, South Africa, and Europe) and a long history of use in folkloric treatments. Folk healers utilize this herb to treat various diseases, including diabetes and liver issues. Chicory (C. intybus L.) is a popular food plant in many parts of the world, and its unique phytochemical content has made it a staple in traditional medicine. It is a viable source of biologically relevant elements (potassium (K), iron (Fe), calcium (Ca)), vitamins (vitamin A, B1, B2, C), and bioactive compounds (inulin, sesquiterpene lactones, coumarin derivatives, cichoric acid, phenolic acids), with several biological effects including hepatoprotective, cardiovascular, antioxidant, anticancer, reproductive, anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antimicrobial, and other pharmacological effects. This review was created to highlight the chemical ingredients and medical significance of C. intybus based on recent literature.
