Dandelion Root

Dandelion was traditionally used in many systems of medicine to support digestive and gastrointestinal health. Additionally, dandelion was traditionally used to support liver health and healthy urinary function, and has mild diuretic action. Renowned herbalist Rosemary Gladstar said dandelion is “invaluable to women going through menopause.” Dandelion root’s benefit to the digestive tract is twofold as it contains inulin and is also a bitter digestive tonic that tones the digestive system and stimulates the appetite. It calms heat and also hot emotions and is thus helpful for those who are irritated.
