Strain, and drink three to four cups daily as needed. While Dandelion leaf tea is extremely safe, it's always a good idea to increase your intake of potassium-rich foods such as apples, bananas, carrots, oranges, and potatoes when using a diuretic.

Using Dandelion Preparations as a General Tonic

Dandelion - Fine liver herbAs a general tonic and to stimulate digestion use, 3 times a day:

2-3 grams of the dried root

5-10ml of a root tincture, or

20-30 drops of Dandelion Fluid Extract - again, made from the root. A fluid extract is much stronger than a tincture, so less is needed. It is often the most convenient way to take dandelion root.

Some herbalists say that the tincture or fluid extracts are more effective because the therapeutic 'bitter principles' are more soluble in alcohol.

As a mild diuretic or appetite stimulant, 4-10 grams of dried leaves can be added to 1 cup of boiling water and taken as a decoction. 5-10ml of fresh juice from the leaves or 2-5ml of tincture made from the leaves can be used three times per day. The fresh juice is the most effective.

The dried Dandelion leaves are also used in many digestive or diet drinks and herb beers. Dandelion Beer is a fermented drink common in many parts of the UK and Canada.

Dandelion is a safe and nutritious herb widely used throughout the world. No health hazards have been reported when Dandelion is used in designated therapeutic doses.

No interactions have been reported between Dandelion and standard medications.

Because Dandelion acts as a cholagogue, which means that it increases the flow of bile, people with closure of the biliary ducts and other biliary ailments should not use it.

In cases of stomach ulcer or gastritis, Dandelion should be used cautiously, as it may cause overproduction of stomach acid.

Use in small doses, and take advice from a practitioner if you are using any other medication or suffer from any chronic conditions. Seek medical advice during pregnancy.

Liver cleanse - dandelionThose experiencing fluid or water retention should consult a practitioner before taking Dandelion leaves. People taking the leaves should be sure that their practitioner monitors potassium levels.

The milky latex in the stem and leaves of fresh Dandelion may cause an allergic rash in some individuals.

Dandelion - Top Liver Herb

Dandelion is a great liver herb. It is not as potent as some others, eg Barberry or Milk Thistle; but it is excellent in the general tonic effect it has, as well as helping the detox functions of the liver. It is also very safe to use.
