Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale Wigg.) has long been widely used in folk medicine. Its leaves, flowers, and roots are used as medicinal raw materials. Dandelion has anti-inflammatory, diuretic, and detoxifying properties. It supports liver function, improves digestion, and helps strengthen immunity. It is especially useful in the spring season for enriching the body with vitamins and minerals. You can make a salad from its leaves, make a decoction or tea from its flowers, and prepare a decoction and tincture from its roots. Dandelion extract, dried raw materials, and tinctures are widely used in pharmaceuticals. Dandelion is recommended to be consumed in moderation. It should be used with caution in cases of gastrointestinal diseases or allergies.
