Description
Dandelion root is regarded as a "liver tonic", which has led to its use for many illnesses traditionally believed to be caused by a "sluggish" or "congested" liver, including constipation, headaches, eye problems, gout, skin problems, fatigue and boils.
Building on this traditional thinking, some modern naturopathic physicians believe tht dandelion can help "detoxify" or clean out the liver and gallbladder. This concept has led to the suggestion that dandelion can reduce the side effects of medications processed by the liver, as well as relieve symptoms of diseases in which impaired liver function plays a role.
Dandelion root is also used like other bitter herbs to improve appetite and treat minor digestive disorders. When dried and roasted, it is sometimes used as a coffee substitute. Finally, dandelion root has been used for the treatment of "rheumatism" (arthritis) and mild constipation.
