Dandelion Root is used for immune support, cleanses & detoxes, as well as promoting overall health and well-being. The word, “Dandelion” is from the French, “Dent de lion” (tooth of the lion), probably because its leaves are serrated, like long teeth. Dandelion Root was considered as part of the official pharmacopeia of Rome, and is also part of the Chinese Materia Medica. Taraxacum is called Pu Gong Ying, and is used to clear heat in the body and remove fire poison, conditions which in Western medical understanding equate to helping the liver in its detoxification capacity.
