Dandelion Root Whole (Taraxacum mongolicum) is a bitter, cooling herb traditionally used to support detoxification, liver function, and digestive health. Carefully harvested and dried in whole-root form, this variety of dandelion root retains its natural structure, color, and earthy aroma, making it ideal for decoctions and long-simmered herbal formulas.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Taraxacum mongolicum is often used to clear heat, reduce swelling, and support the body's natural elimination processes. It is commonly applied in cases of heat-toxin patterns, such as skin eruptions, sore throat, or inflammation. In Western herbal traditions, dandelion root is known for its ability to stimulate bile production, promote digestion, and gently cleanse the liver and gallbladder.
When simmered, Dandelion Root Whole produces a dark, bitter infusion with grounding, earthy notes. It pairs well with herbs like burdock root, ginger, licorice, or milk thistle in detoxifying and digestive blends.
