Dandelion Medicine 🌼
.
Dandelion root is a traditional tonic for the liver and the blood, and has a rich tradition of tonic use to relieve conditions such as acne, psoriasis, and eczema.
.
It’s also used to support the body in fasting and cleansing, and can be combined with a number of herbs as a tea for detoxifying the liver and skin. Fine candidates for formulation with dandelion include red clover blooms (Trifolium pratense), cleavers (Galium aparine), stinging nettles (Urtica dioica), burdock root (Arctium lappa and A. minus), violet (Viola sororia and V. odorata), chickweed (Stellaria media), and yellow dock root (Rumex crispus and R. obtusifolius).
.
Dandelion is a digestive remedy par excellence. It’s best taken solo or in combination with other bitter herbs twenty minutes before eating to prime the digestive system and increase bile excretion. This is an age-old tradition that we'd do well to keep alive, especially considering many of us lack bitter foods in our diets.
.
There's so much more to know about dandelion—to the tune of antioxidant-rich flowers and gentle laxative powers. To dive deeper, you're invited to join us for our Online Herbal Immersion—1,000 hours of our personal mentorship in sustainable DIY herbalism.
