Dandelion Root

(Taraxacum officinale)

Dandelion Root  
Applied topically for such as Cold sores and Warts. Can also be taken orally. Dandelion as a medicine was first mentioned in the works of the Arabian physicians of the tenth and eleventh centuries and is used for both kidney and liver disorders, cirrhosis, hepatitis, liver disease, anemia, constipation, gallstones, jaundice and the yellowing of the skin that comes with liver dysfunction. It is also used to encourage normal digestion, treat infections, swelling, water retention, breast problems, pneumonia and viruses.

Our capsules contain pure, dried herbs with no fillers at all. This is very rare! It's also the reason they are better than tablets.

Our tinctures consist of pure herb, distilled in water and alcohol. Dark, glass bottles stop sunlight degrading the herbs and provide peace of mind knowing no chemicals (from plastic bottles) have leached into the tincture.

Dandelion Root Information:

Tincture - Oral drops containing tincture of Dandelion Root (Taraxacum officinalis). Ratio of 1:3. 25% alcohol. Vegetarian.


Dandelion as a medicine was first mentioned in the works of the Arabian physicians of the tenth and eleventh centuries, who speak of it as a sort of wild Endive, under the name of Taraxcacon. In this country, we find allusion to it in the Welsh medicines of the thirteenth century. Dandelion was much valued as a medicine in the times of Gerard and Parkinson, and is still extensively employed.

Dandelion roots have long been largely used on the Continent, and the plant is cultivated largely in India as a remedy for liver complaints.

Daniel Mowrey PH.D, author of "The Scientific Validation of Herbal Medicine" states, "Dandelion heads the list of excellent foods for the liver." The herb has been used for centuries to treat jaundice and the yellowing of the skin that comes with liver dysfunction, cirrhosis, hepatitis and liver disease.

But liver function isn't the only use of this nutritious plant. It is also used to treat infections, swelling, water retention, breast problems, gallbladder problems, pnuemonia and viruses. Studies have shown that dandelion stimulates bile flow and has a mild diuretic effect. Modern naturopathic physicians use dandelion to detoxify the liver and reduce the side effects of prescription medications.

Dandelion is on the FDA's list of safe foods and is approved by the Council of Europe.


The chief constituents of Dandelion root are Taraxacin, acrystalline and Taraxacerin, an acrid resin, with Inulin (a sort of sugar which replaces starch in many of the Dandelion family, Compositae), gluten, gum and potash. It contains substantial levels of vitamins A, C, D, B-complex, iron, magnesium, zinc, potassium, manganese, choline, calcium and boron.

Diuretic, tonic and slightly aperient. It is a general stimulant to the system, but especially to the urinary organs, and is chiefly used in kidney and liver disorders.

Dandelion is not only official but is used in many patent medicines. Not being poisonous, quite big doses of its preparations may be taken. Its beneficial action is best obtained when combined with other agents.

Taraxacum officinale, Leotodon taraxacum

Common Names:
Dandelion, Blowball, Canker Wort, Irish Daisy, Lion's Tooth, Puffball, Wild Endive

Diuretic, tonic and slightly aperient, mild laxative.

Capsules - Take 1 capsule two to three times a day with water, or as directed by your healthcare professional.

Tinctures - Mix 40 drops of liquid with a small amount of water two to three times daily.


Note:

Do not use dandelion for longer than six weeks at a time.

Because of dandelion's diuretic effect, women who are pregnant or breast-feeding may want to avoid it.

Dandelion may intensify the blood sugar-lowering effect of the diabetes drug, glipizide. Use with caution. If taken in large quantities (much more than commonly recommended) it may cause a skin rash, diarrhea, heartburn, or stomach discomfort. Stop using the herb if these reactions occur.

Dandelion contains chemicals that stimulate the production of bile, increased amount of which may be irritating to gallbladder tissue. If you suffer gallbladder problems, you are advised to consult your doctor. Avoid if your doctor has advised you have an obstruction of the bowel (often signaled by persistent constipation or lack of bowel movements).

Milk Thistle is usually only taken when there's a health problem, rather than as a preventative measure, as a healhy Liver does not need constant stimulation. See Dandelion Root for an everyday Liver Tonic.

Milk Thistle is thought to be unique in its ability to protect the liver, having no equivalent in the pharmaceutical drug world, and was approved in 1986 as a treatment for liver disease. It is widely used to treat alcoholic hepatitis, alcoholic fatty liver, cirrhosis, liver poisoning and viral hepatitis. It has also been shown to protect the liver against medications such as acetaminophen, a non-aspirin pain reliever.
