Dandelion Leaf Flakes, Organic 1 lb.
100% organic dandelion leaf flakes (Taraxacum officinale), gently cut and sifted into fine flakes for versatile herbal preparations. Naturally green and herbaceous, dandelion leaf carries a fresh, grassy aroma with soft bittersweet undertones and a clean, earthy botanical finish.
A foundational herb in both traditional and modern herbalism, dandelion leaf is widely valued for whole-plant formulations, infusions, tinctures, broth blends, and seasonal cleansing stacks inside a growing apothecary.
🌿 Traditional medicinal usage
Dandelion leaf has a long history across global healing systems as a cooling, cleansing, and liver-supportive herb, including:
-
Traditional Chinese herbalism (TCM): used to clear internal heat, support liver and stomach energy, promote fluid balance, and complement detoxifying root and leaf formulas.
-
Ayurveda: valued for balancing Pitta, traditionally used to support digestion, inflammation comfort, and blood purification.
-
European folk herbalism: brewed as a spring cleansing infusion to support urinary tract comfort, digestion, circulation, and liver vitality, often consumed seasonally as part of herbal bitters stacks.
-
Western apothecary tradition: used for centuries in liver, lymphatic, kidney, digestion, and circulation-supportive formulations, often prepared as infusions or tinctures to draw out its gentle tonic properties.
Historically, dandelion leaf was prepared slow and steady—often in seasonal broths, long-steeped leaf infusions, or alcohol extractions to support the body’s natural purification pathways.

Today, dandelion leaf remains a staple in modern wellness for:
-
