Learn how to use dandelion root for liver problems from harvest to drying and using it as a natural liver detox. 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. Before we show you how to use dandelion root for liver problems, here is how to harvest this amazing root.
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.
