Dandelion Tincture

Description

Dandelion tincture

It is important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, especially if you have per-existing health conditions or are taking other medications.

Primary Benefit Specific 

Liver Support Historically used as a liver tonic to support overall liver health, bile flow, and the body’s natural detoxification processes.

Digestive Aid The plant’s bitter compounds help stimulate appetite and digestion. The root contains inulin, a pre-biotic fiber that supports healthy gut bacteria. It is also used to ease minor digestive disorders and mild constipation.

Diuretic Action Dandelion leaves have a mild diuretic (water-releasing) effect, which may help reduce temporary fluid retention (edema), such as that associated with premenstrual syndrome (PMS).

Dandelion also provides high amounts of potassium, which can help replace potassium lost through diuresis.

Anti-inflammatory & Antioxidant Contains potent antioxidants (like beta-carotene and polyphenols) and compounds with anti-inflammatory properties that help protect cells from damage.

Cardiovascular/Metabolic Support Preliminary research suggests it may help regulate blood sugar levels and reduce cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Its high potassium content may also help with blood pressure regulation. Nutritional Supplement The plant is an excellent source of vitamins (A, C, K) and minerals (iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium).

Important Safety Considerations

 

• Consult a Professional: Always speak to a healthcare provider before starting dandelion tincture, especially if you have an underlying health condition.
• Contraindications: Dandelion should generally not be used if you have a biliary duct obstruction or an inflamed gallbladder. Consult your doctor if you have gallstones.
   
• Drug Interactions: Dandelion may interact with certain medications, including blood thinners, diuretics (water pills), and diabetes medications, as it can affect blood clotting, potassium levels, and blood sugar.
