With the
temperatures dipping into the 30's over night, the medicinal properties
from the above the ground parts of the plant are being sent to the
roots, making this a good time of the year to harvest those roots! These
beauties will be made into a tincture that will be used to support
liver health.
It’s fascinating the amount of functions the liver is responsible for - and when any of those functions are compromised there can be an array of health issues that begin to manifest. One of those functions is producing bile.
In brief, bile, a digestive juice produced by the liver, travels from the liver to the gallbladder where it is stored.
When we eat, the
gallbladder releases bile into the small intestine where it then begins
to break down and prepare the foods for further digestion and absorption
by the body.
If the liver is not working properly, sometimes this is referred to as a sluggish liver, bile production can become compromised and those health issues will begin to manifest.
Dandelion root helps by stimulating a sluggish liver thus improving bile production.
So that means a healthy bile producing liver makes for a happy digestive system as well as a healthier gallbladder. 🥰
This is just one example of how dandelion root can benefit the liver. Be sure to learn more about the medicinal benefits. If you do you’ll discover how it also works on the gallbladder and pancreas.

*** I just recently discovered that there is a correlation with dandelion and latex allergy.
Dandelion contains latex. If you are allergic to latex be sure to do your research before using any products containing dandelion. That's any and all parts of the dandelion.
I can say from experience that this is definitely something to take serious. I'm allergic to latex.

I've been using dandelion medicine for
years, both internally and topically, with no problems at all.
Several
months ago I began experiencing
allergy related symptoms. After learning about the correlation between
dandelion and latex it now makes sense as to what has been going on with
my body.
So for me, I'm sad that I will not be able to use dandelion medicine anymore. At least for now.

However, I am very thankful to have received
this knowledge. Now I will begin to address the root cause as to why my
immune system over reacts to certain plants thus causing the symptoms I
have been experiencing.
One more thing to add in regards to latex allergy. There is also a correlation between latex and certain fruits and vegetables and other medicinal plants.
