Dandelion Root (Organic, Cut and Sifted)

Dandelion is native to Europe but found throughout temperate regions in the Northern Hemisphere. The leaves, flowers, and root of the plant have traditionally been used in Mexican and other North American medicine. Today, dandelion is promoted as a “tonic,” as a diuretic, and for a variety of conditions, including infections and digestive symptoms. People use dandelion for conditions such as swelling (inflammation) of the tonsils (tonsillitis), infections of the kidney, bladder, or urethra (urinary tract infections or UTIs), and many others, but as with many complementary and alternative medicines, there is limited scientific information available to fully validate the effectiveness and safety, so please consult your physician before use. As a food, dandelion is used as a salad green and in soups, wine, and teas. The roasted root is used as a coffee substitute. Please consult a qualified healthcare practitioner before use, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing, or on any medications. Keep out of reach of children.
