Dandelion is a plant that is native to Europe but found throughout the Northern Hemisphere. In many part of the world, it’s consumed as food (fresh leaves are used in salads) and also has a prominent role in herbal therapy. In traditional Chinese medicine, dandelion is used to support liver health, nourish bones and joints, and stimulate healthy bile flow. Dried dandelion leaves are suitable for making tea. To make tea, pour 8 ounces of boiling water over one heaping teaspoon of dried dandelion leaves and allow to steep for five to 10 minutes.
