Description

Named from the French dent-de-lion, or “lion’s tooth,” for its jagged-edged leaves, the dandelion has been used as a herbal wellness and health essential for centuries.

So much so that early European settlers would often remove grasses from their gardens and replace them with useful’ herbs like dandelion.

A powerhouse of antioxidants, dandelion root is packed with Vitamin A, C and D as well as zinc, iron and magnesium. Among the many other health benefits claimed for dandelion root, it may assist as a gentle digestive tonic and a natural diuretic to aid detoxifying.

It’s a delicious, way to keep those seasonal colds at bay too. Dandelion Root tea pairs well with refreshing flavours like mint or fresh lemon juice. You can also add natural sweeteners like honey or stevia or a little milk for a lighter, more delicate flavour. If you’re after a real health boost, try blending with other herbal teas like Chamomile.
