Dandelions have been traditionally been used wonderful year-round as balancing support for healthy liver, digestive, and eliminatory function and to optimize the body's natural defense.

Dandelion (Taraxacum Officinale) is a perennial herbaceous weed, up to 50 cm high. Dandelion has a short rhizome and fleshy, spindle-shaped root 20-60 cm long, 1-2 cm thick, reddish-brown on top, white inside. The leaves are oblong-lanceolate, 20 cm long, collected in a basal rosette. The basket contains up to 200 yellow, only reed, bisexual flowers. The fruits are fluffy achenes 3-4 cm long, gray-brown with a thin nose. The whole plant is rich in the milky juice.
Elixir-tinctures are the best way to preserve key components of the herbs to stay fresh/active for years without losing potency.
Alcohol is a stronger medium for the extraction of Dandelion leaf than water, so tinctures/extracts will have more of a plant’s constituents than a tea will. However, we also use hot water as an extraction media to capture water-soluble constituents. The alcohol allows quick absorption of the herb into the body. Read the directions on the bottle’s label. For best results, place the liquid under your tongue for 1 min for direct access to your body system, some dilution in any tea or water is recommended as this is a strong alcohol flavor tincture.
