Baldwins Dandelion Root ( Taraxicum Officinale )

Taraxacum officinale [radix]

Health perks:

Used traditionally as a mild diuretic (increases urine production), the root of Dandelion benefits us due its bitter constituents which places itself as a firm favourite; as a digestive stimulant and tonic. The bitter compounds help to increase bile flow from the gall bladder and the liver.

Recommended by many for people with sluggish livers (due to over indulgence and/ or poor diet). Just as well acts as a mild laxative too.

How to use Dandelion root? 

Make a decoction. Simmer 3-5g of dried root in 250ml of water. Allow to cool to preferred temperature, strain and drink up to three times a day. 

P.S. ***If pregnant/ nursing, or there are health imbalances that require attention, it is always wise to consult a qualified herbal practitioner... even before trying a new remedy.
