Learn how to use dandelion root for skin problems from harvest to drying and to using it as a natural medicine for skin issues. 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 skin 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 Skin Problems
The healing effect of dandelion root on skin conditions is explained by its detoxifying action on the liver, kidneys, and digestive tract, as the skin mirrors the health of these organs. The liver loves bitter plants and bitter taste, and although this remedy may be quite bitter, your liver and skin will love it. Prepare a combined dandelion root infusion as follows.
- Pur 2 teaspoons of powdered dandelion root in a cup of water and let it macerate at room temperature for 6-8 hours (overnight), then strain.
- Set the cold extract aside, and boil the remaining plant in a cup (200 ml) of water for five minutes, then let it cool.
- Finally, combine the two extracts and drink the combined infusion throughout the day.
This infusion has an extremely bitter taste but has extraordinary results on skin problems, effectively helping to clear acne, allergy-induced irritations, dermatoses, and even UV-damaged skin. After drinking this combined infusion for at least two weeks, your skin becomes brighter and more youthful, and natural pigmentation is restored. For skin pigmentation disorders, you can also pad freshly juiced dandelion root to the affected area. This topical treatment has strong anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory effects.
