Function:

Dandelion Root is used to treat liver and gallbladder obstructions, improve
liver function, promote bile production and as a diuretic.



1)Correcting Liver Function: inflammation and congestion of liver.Dandelion
root extract is also used in the early stages of liver cirrhosis such as
alcoholic cirrhosis.

Dandelion root extract stimulates bile production, and helps the body get
rid of excess water produced by the diseased liver.Dandelion root extract
successfully treats hepatitis, liver swelling, jaundice and indigestion in
those with inadequate bile secretion.

2)Cholagogue Function:Dandelion root extract, flavonoids can double the
flow of bile. Its cholagogue effect is useful for liver and gall bladder
inflammation , eliminate gallstones and congestion, as well as jaundiced
states.



3)Diuretic Function: Dandelion leaves is a powerful diuretic. Unlike many
conventional diuretics, dandelion leaves do not leach potassium from the
body. In fact, the leaves of dandelion extract are so rich in this mineral
that they function as a potassium supplement. This diuretic action is
responsible for the dandelion's use as a treatment for high blood pressure.



Studies showed that dandelion is an effective treatment for hepatitis and
swelling of the liver. Another German study proved that dandelion root
helped alleviate jaundice and reduce gallstones. Newer research shows that
dandelion root protects the liver against some harmful toxins, such as
carbon tetrachloride, which is used in some cleaning products and building
materials.



Dandelion root has been traditionally used in the treatment of liver
disorders like jaundice, and increasing amounts of research support this
use. Some health professionals recommend dandelion root tea for people
taking antidepressant medications, since these drugs can impede the liver’s
detoxification pathways. Research in the Journal of Medicinal Food shows
that dandelion also helps protect the liver against damage from other
drugs, including painkillers like acetaminophen.

How to use the Dandelion root ?

If you plan to use the root to give your liver a boost, a typical dose is
500 to 2,000 mg of dandelion root in capsule or tea form, taken daily for
two weeks.

Dandelion greens benefit both the urinary tract and liver, while the root
works primarily on the liver. Most of the studies on the effectiveness of
dandelion use dandelion root tinctures or dandelion root or leaf tea. In my
experience, tinctures tend to be more potent than tea. Dandelion root is
also available commercially in powdered or capsule form. You can make a
decoction using two teaspoons of powdered dandelion root per cup of water.
Bring to a boil and simmer for forty-five minutes. Make a large enough
batch of tea to ensure that it won’t just evaporate during the cooking
time. Drink one cup of the dandelion root tea three times daily. Another
option is to take one teaspoon of alcohol-based dandelion tincture three
times daily.
