Dandelion as a Hepatic - For the Liver
A Hepatic is a herb, usually a bitter herb, which works particularly well on the liver by toning, nourishing, and strengthening it, and by empowering its activity as the primary blood-cleansing organ in the body.

The blood can be contaminated by stress, lack of exercise, poor diet, toxins, and genetic predisposition. When the blood doesn't flow actively, arthritic pains may result because gases or gravel materials are deposited in the joints. Skin disorders like eczema and psoriasis may result from the body trying to push toxins out through the skin.

Chinese Herbal Applications
Dandelion is used in cases of jaundice, hepatitis, and red and swollen eyes, as well as urinary tract infection, abscesses, or firm, hard sores in the breasts. It is also said to be effective in increasing the production of mother's milk.

Astrologically, Dandelion falls under the dominion of Jupiter.
 

Combinations
For the liver: Liv Capsules (Barberry, Wild Yam, Dandelion, Cramp Bark, Peppermint, Catnep, Fennel, and Ginger).

Liv Drops(Fringe Tree Bark, Dandelion Root, Vervain, Rheum, Yarrow, Barberry, Black Cohosh, Milk Thistle, Boldo).

A complete 90-day Liver Programme - Consists of a Liver combination product; Milk Thistle, and a herbal Tea for the liver.

Collection
The roots are best collected between June and August when they are at their most bitter. Dig up in wet weather. Avoid breaking the roots. Shake off as much of the earth as possible and clean the roots. Cut off the crowns of leaves, but take care not to leave any scales on the top. Do not cut or slice the roots or the valuable milky juice on which their medicinal value depends will be wasted by bleeding.

It is best to harvest fresh young Dandelion leaves in the spring. The small, young leaves are less bitter, and may be eaten uncooked in salads. Larger leaves can be lightly steamed to reduce bitterness.
 

Preparations
Dandelion leaf has been used for centuries in Europe as a spring tonic (a medicine that invigorates and strengthens all systems) to help to purify the body after a long winter of rich foods and little exercise. The bitter taste of the leaves stimulates bile flow, which enhances liver function.

Dandelion leaf is one of the richest natural sources of beta-carotene, and contains more iron and calcium than spinach.
