Dandelion Extract

« Back to Glossary Index

Dandelion has been used as an herbal remedy for over a millennium, with evidence of its use dating back to traditional Chinese medicine. Throughout history, various cultures, including Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, Europeans, and Native Americans, have utilized the plant to treat a wide range of ailments such as liver and kidney problems, digestive issues, and skin irritations.

Dandelion root tonics and teas have been found to be a gentle, nutritional diuretic that aids digestion and helps remove toxins from the liver and bloodstream. Even today, people still consume dandelion tea for its potential health benefits.

Although further research is necessary to determine the efficacy of dandelions in treating various illnesses and inflammatory responses, we do know that they are rich in vitamins, minerals, and fiber, including vitamins A, C, E, and K, iron, zinc, calcium, magnesium, and potassium.

Despite being considered a weed, the bright yellow flowers of dandelions have been used in dyes, wellness teas, dietary supplements, and even wine. Modern herbalists have extolled the benefits of dandelion leaf in herbal medicine, and the skincare industry has followed suit, incorporating dandelion root extract into many products for its anti-aging properties that cater to different skin types
