We encounter Dandelion (Taraxacum) most commonly as a weed, rather than in the form of this beneficial fresh herb tincture. Alfred Vogel thought very highly of the use of Dandelion root and leaves. In traditional Chinese and Native American medicine, dandelion root has long been used to treat stomach and liver conditions. Herbalists today believe that it can aid in the treatment of many ailments, including acne, eczema, high cholesterol, heartburn, gastrointestinal disorders and diabetes.
