Shop / starwest botanicals dandelion root
The term "Dandelion" originates from the French phrase "Dent de lion" (tooth of the lion), likely owing to the serrated appearance of its leaves. This ubiquitous plant has been recognized as part of the official pharmacopeia of Rome and is also featured in the Chinese Materia Medica. Taraxacum, the botanical name for dandelion, is referred to as Pu Gong Ying in Chinese medicine, and is used to clear heat from the body and remove fire poison, which in Western medical understanding equates to supporting the liver's detoxification capacity.
Dandelions are a plant that most people can easily identify. Each spring, lawn owners are often vexed by the early appearance of dandelion's vibrant yellow flowers. Children, on the other hand, delight in blowing the fluffy white seed heads, sometimes while making a wish. Fortunately, the persistent use of powerful, lethal herbicides has not eliminated this remarkable plant. In fact, the dandelion's tenacity, even in the face of a concerted effort by "green lawn" advocates to eradicate it, speaks to its inherent strength, which it then imparts to those who respect and utilize it as a food source and remedy.
If one were to pluck a yellow dandelion flower and place it in a dark area, it would still produce a fluffy seed pod within a few days. This serves as an impressive example of the "power of purpose." The dandelion flower also functions as an accurate weather vane, as they can be observed closing up tightly before the onset of rainstorms.
The dandelion belongs to the compositae family, making it a relative of the daisy, sunflower, and echinacea.
