Dandelion root
Dandelion root is the underground part of the dandelion plant, often used in traditional medicine and herbal teas. It is valued for its potential health benefits, including supporting digestion, acting as a gentle detoxifier for the liver, and promoting healthy skin. The root contains compounds like inulin, which can help maintain gut health, and antioxidants that combat free radicals. It has a bitter taste, which can stimulate appetite and improve bile production. Dandelion root can be consumed as a tincture, extract, or brewed into teas, and is generally considered safe when used appropriately.
