Organic Dandelion Leaf

Organic Dandelion Leaf from Albania

Organic Dandelion Leaf is carefully sourced from Albania and prepared from Taraxacum officinale. Although often thought of as a common garden plant, dandelion has a long history of use as both a food and traditional herb. The leaves produce a pleasantly bitter, green herbal infusion and are naturally caffeine free.

Dandelion leaf is traditionally used in Herbal Medicine to help relieve digestive disturbances, including dyspepsia, and to help increase bile flow. It also has a long history of traditional use as a diuretic to promote urine production and support normal urinary elimination.

The leaves naturally contain a variety of plant compounds, including flavonoids, phenolic acids and naturally occurring minerals. Their characteristic bitter, green flavour reflects dandelion's long-standing place among traditional bitter herbs and leafy herbal preparations.

Dandelion Leaf or Dandelion Root?

Both come from Taraxacum officinale, but the leaf and root are distinct herbal ingredients with different characteristics and traditional uses.

Dandelion leaf is lighter and greener and is particularly associated with traditional diuretic and urinary uses. Dandelion root has a deeper, earthier and more pronounced bitter character and is commonly prepared as a decoction, with a long history of use in digestive and liver-focused herbal preparations.

If you're looking for a leafy herbal infusion, choose Dandelion Leaf. For the deeper, earthy character of the root, explore our Organic Dandelion Root.

Dandelion in Traditional Chinese Medicine

Dandelion also has a history of use in Traditional Chinese Medicine, where it is known as Pu Gong Ying. Traditionally it is regarded as a cooling herb used to clear heat. The classical Chinese herbal material may include the whole plant, however, so this traditional use should not be confused with the specific Dandelion Leaf product offered here.
