Health Benefits
The organic dandelion root extract is a general stimulant to the system, but especially to the urinary organs, and is chiefly used in kidney and liver disorders.
In folk medicine, Dandelion root extract is also used as a remedy for hemorrhoids, gout, rheumatism, eczema, other skin conditions, and diabetes. Its effectiveness for these problems has not, however, been verified.
In Asian medicine–again without verification–Dandelion root extract is used to treat chronic ulcers, stiff joints, and tuberculosis.
It is also used to induce milk production in nursing mothers and to soothe inflamed breast tissue.
