Dandelion and Your Liver

Dandelion is a perennial herbaceous plant with long, toothed leaves, yellow flowers and achenes with a pappus.

Dandelion's bitter ingredients promote gastric and hepatobiliary salivary secretions. These beneficial properties on the digestive system help with liver congestion and gallbladder disorders. Effective in preventing the formation of gallbladder stones, it also facilitates the gradual dissolution of existing stones by regulating the release of cholesterol and bile salts by the liver.

Dandelion has several medicinal properties:

It is traditionally used in herbal medicine to help increase the flow of bile (cholagogue and choleretic); as a diuretic; to help treat digestive disorders (indigestion); as a laxative; to help relieve skin conditions, such as eczema.

Phytovie offers dandelion in several formats.
