Dandelion Root (Taraxacum Officinale rad.)

The bitter root healer — deep liver detox, bile flow, and digestive fire in one roasted root.

Dandelion root (Taraxacum officinale rad.) is the more potent sibling of the leaf, working deeper on the liver and gallbladder to stimulate bile production, clear congestion, and support the body's natural detoxification pathways. Rich in inulin — a powerful prebiotic fibre — it also nourishes the gut microbiome, making it one of the most complete digestive and detox herbs available.

Key Benefits
