A simple way to enjoy the benefits of Dandelions

Unique goodness

Dandelions are unique as every part of the plant (including the roots) can be used for healing and nutritional benefit.

Dandelion flowers and stems can be used to make a delightfully refreshing and powerfully invigorating drink.

Dandelion flowers cleanse the organs, in particular, the stomach and intestinal tract, gallbladder, bladder, lungs, uterus and heart. The stems of Dandelions cleanse the denser organs of the spleen, liver and brain by pushing out substances that are no longer useful.

Steeping Dandelion flowers and stalks overnight releases a rich source of minerals, vitamins and phytonutrients. You can also eat the Dandelion flowers afterwards as they provide an excellent source of fibre. 

If you notice a hint of bitterness you can sweeten with Raw Honey.
