What Is Dandelion Root and What Are Its Healthcare Applications?
The Latin name of this plant is Taraxacum officinale, but everyone knows it as dandelion. Typically growing in moist soils across temperate regions, dandelion belongs to the daisy family and is recognized by its yellow flowers that turn into blowballs.
In herbalism, nearly all parts of the plant—roots, leaves, and florets—are used.
The Main Health Benefits of Dandelion Root and Leaves
Leaves and Florets Are Healthy and Nutritive Foods
Dandelion leaves are a source of fiber, vitamins A, C, E, magnesium, and iron. They work great in salads or can be brewed as part of herbal teas. Florets are used to make sweets and beverages and are rich in pollen, collected by bees.
Even dandelion roots are edible and are frequently used in detox tincture.
Antioxidant Action
Dandelions are rich in beta-carotene, which neutralizes free radicals and protects against cell damage. These antioxidants contribute to overall health and help reduce the risk of chronic disease. For more antioxidant-rich options, see our Immune Support category.
Anti-Inflammatory Efficiency
Polyphenols in dandelion help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation. These compounds are especially beneficial for cardiovascular health.
Blood Sugar and Cholesterol Balance
Dandelion contains chicory and chlorogenic acids that improve insulin sensitivity and balance blood sugar levels. They also support healthy cholesterol levels and blood pressure. For more natural blood sugar solutions, explore our Products.
