Learn how to use dandelion root for heart problems from harvest to drying and to using it as a natural medicine for heart problems caused by high cholesterol. Let’s go.
Dandelion is probably the most widespread medicinal plant in Romania. Dandelion leaves and stems are most commonly used in natural medicine, although the root possesses the strongest healing properties. With an extremely bitter taste that stimulates digestive, assimilative, and excretory functions, it is especially used at the end of winter and the beginning of spring as a powerful liver detoxifier. Modern medical studies confirm the detoxifying effect of dandelion, effectively catalyzing all processes of toxin and metabolic waste elimination from the body. Furthermore, dandelion root is considered one of the best plants for preventing cardiovascular diseases.
Before we show you how to use dandelion root for heart problems, let’s see how to harvest and dry this medicinal root plant to obtain the highest quality medicine from it.
How to Harvest Dandelion Root
Dandelion roots are harvested at the end of winter and the beginning of spring, along with the underground stem that stores important nutrients, known as the rhizome. Harvesting is done by digging them up with a spade. After harvesting, wash the dandelion roots well in running water, then split them lengthwise if they are thick, and lay them out to dry in a thin layer in a warm, dry place. Once the drying process is complete (when the roots become rigid and snap with a crisp sound), store them in paper bags in clean, dry places, for later use.
Dandelion root harvested in early spring is at its peak healing power, cleansing the body like a natural detergent.
How to Use Dandelion Root for Heart Problems
Once the dandelion roots are dried, use a coffee grinder to turn them into a fine powder. To preserve its healing properties, make multiple batches of dandelion root powder, not all the needed quantity at once. The recommended dosage of dandelion root powder is 1/2 teaspoon, 3-4 times a day for 90 days. This remedy has a very rapid effect on blood pressure, gradually lowering it and, most importantly, stabilizing it after just 1-2 weeks of use.
The effects on blood cholesterol levels appear only after 30-40 days of administration, during which so-called bad cholesterol (LDL) begins to decrease while the good cholesterol (HDL) increases. Finally, after 60 days of administration, medical tests will show a decrease in blood fat levels (triglycerides), which help prevent the buildup of plaques in the arteries, thereby preventing stroke and myocardial infarction.

Bonus! Natural Remedy for Blood Detox
During winter, dandelion roots lie dormant in the ground, but on the surface, a basal rosette of leaves remains evergreen, even under snow or frost. These leaves, along with the root, blended with water, make one of the best remedy for cleansing blood in spring. Drinking this healing remedy for 10-20 day helps eliminate free radicals from the body and reduces uric acid and creatinine levels in the blood. Additionally, the chlorophyll in dandelion leaves aids in the removal of heavy metals like mercury, lead, and cadmium from the blood and body. Dandelion root has been scientifically proven to be an amazing natural cure for blood clots.
