Used by the ancient Egyptians for liver and blood purification as early as 5,000 years ago.
Praised by Hippocrates and Greek physicians for aiding digestion and calming inflammation.
In 17th-century Europe, used as a coffee substitute and known for bile-stimulating, liver-toning effects.
🌼 Dandelion Root History
A traditional liver and skin tonic in Chinese Medicine, dating back 1,000+ years.
In Ayurveda, used to cool internal heat and clear “ama” (toxins).
Indigenous tribes used it to brew teas for digestive health, water retention, and fatigue.
