Dandelion Leaf

Traditional Native American & Persian medicine have relied on dandelion root for its many medicinal benefits. Dandelion has been eaten as a fresh salad due to its vitamins A, B6, C and D as well as minerals iron, potassium and zinc. Dandelion roots can boost your digestive system and stimulate your appetite and have been found in some coffee substitutes. In spite of its reputation as an irritating weed in spring, you will benefit from using dandelion root.

Dandelion Leaf (Taraxacum officinale) offers a number of benefits for the liver and gallbladder. A natural diuretic, Dandelion Leaf is commonly used to help remove excess water and toxins from the body. Dandelion Leaf helps promote bile excretion from the liver so the body can more efficiently process foods and liquids while also purging harmful toxins. In addition, improved bile flow makes it possible for the body to better metabolize fat, which helps optimize the body’s cholesterol levels.

Dandelion Leaf is also effective at stimulating a sluggish gallbladder, which is responsible for storing and excreting bile as the body needs it. This natural herb is effective at promoting blood purity, which helps reduce the burden placed on the liver to filter out toxins. By helping to purify the blood, Dandelion Leaf allows the liver to more effectively perform its function.
