Dandelion Leaf Whole

Dandelion Leaf Whole (Taraxacum mongolicum) is the dried aerial leaf of a classic medicinal plant widely used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) under the name Pú Gōng Yīng (蒲公英). This herb is highly valued for its ability to clear heat, resolve toxicity, reduce swelling, and support liver and digestive health, making it especially useful for conditions involving heat accumulation, inflammation, and toxin-related discomfort. Its nature is bitter, sweet, and cold, giving it a strong cooling and cleansing action.

In TCM, Pu Gong Ying enters the Liver and Stomach channels, where it helps clear heat and fire toxin, support bile flow, and promote digestive balance. It is traditionally used for sore throat, breast abscesses, mastitis, intestinal heat, abdominal discomfort, and urinary irritation, particularly when symptoms present with redness, swelling, pain, or heat. Its ability to reduce inflammation makes it a staple herb for heat-driven infections and stagnation.

Dandelion Leaf is also commonly used to support liver detoxification and digestion, and is often included in formulas for jaundice, poor appetite, and sluggish digestion associated with damp-heat. In folk practice, it is consumed as a cooling tea or food-herb during springtime to help clear internal heat and refresh the body.

Modern research shows that Taraxacum mongolicum contains sesquiterpene lactones, flavonoids, phenolic acids, and antioxidant compounds with documented anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, diuretic, and hepatoprotective effects. These constituents support its traditional use for detoxification, inflammation reduction, and digestive support.

Each batch of Dandelion Leaf Whole (Taraxacum mongolicum) is carefully harvested and dried to preserve its deep green leaves, natural bitterness, and cooling energetic profile. When decocted or infused, it produces a bitter, cooling herbal tea traditionally used to clear heat, resolve toxicity, reduce swelling, and support liver and digestive comfort.
