Dandelion Root (Taraxacum officinale)
Grounding support for digestion, liver health, and metabolic balance
Overview
Dandelion root has been used for centuries in traditional Western and Eastern herbalism as a deeply nourishing bitter herb. Unlike the leaf, which is more diuretic, the root is valued for its effects on digestion, liver function, and long-term metabolic support. It works gently and steadily, making it suitable for regular use.
