Love Your Liver: How To Make a Potent Dandelion Infusion
Loving our livers is one of the most important things we can do for our health. Today, I am glad to share with you this new video lesson on how to prepare a simple, yet, powerful preparation with dandelion roots (Taraxacum officinale).
Dandelion has a long history of use for supporting our health, specifically liver and digestion. It is considered an alterative, something that gently alters the body into a healthier state.
Dandelion roots are nourishing and mineral rich, with mildly laxative effects (aperient). Add them to various formulas to support liver health (hepatic, cholagogue = increases bile production), kidneys (diuretic), skin, bowels (aperient = poop), and joints.
When we support liver health, we support our whole being. Liver love = caring for numerous physiological processes that result in improvements seen in skin, joints, hormones, headaches, etc.
This wild, gentle yet powerful herbal ally is available to us worldwide. Who knows, some may be growing right outside your door.
To ID and harvest this herbal ally, view our other dandelion videos here: • Dandelion the Supersta... • BECOME A DANDELION DET... • MEET RIGHTEOUS DANDELI...
Please note: this information is not meant to replace medical advice. With any new food or herb, go slowly, research it, and discuss using it with your healthcare provider.
Love your liver!
In gratitude,
Dina

Southern Europeans and Greeks eat dandelion greens with a pinch of salt, red wine vinegar or fresh squeezed lemon and olive oil. Delicious and healthy. Bitter? Bitter is healthy. Great for gallbladder and liver.
Hello Zelen, thanks for your comment! Yes!
I mix burdock and dandelion and the next day my skin is so clear. Love your homey kitchen.
Good to know!
That's complete bullshit because it takes months and months for something like that to make physiological changes especially in the skin.
As a tea or ?
@@Solastar i put tablespoon of burdock root in a pot of water and when it begins to boil i turn off heat and put a tea bag of dandelion in there and steep for ten minutes. Then drain all and drink.
Agree that her home is so cozy. 😍
Blanch dandelion greens using apple cider vinegar just at boiling point. Add a bit of sugar or honey. Old Slovak cure and tonic said my grandmother.
Thanks!
Dandelion would spring up all over my yard and when my children were two /three years old, while playing outside, they would pick bouquets of Dandelions and bring it to me. Of course i appreciated the gesture, knowing that one day, they will bring me roses!!! I would chuckle at the sight of dandalion weed cuttings that filled my vases around the house. Looking back,, the joke was on me, I had no idea that my children were bringing me treasures, since I didn't know the value of the humble Dandelion weed 🌼!!!
This brings back sweet memories of Dandelion for me. Thanks for sharing!
Hello Omo, love your comment here! Thank you for sharing.
I picked a big pile of dandelions and blended them up, with a bit of fruit, made an elixir, turned the pulp into cookies, and wow, I had one of the deepest cleansing bowel movements in my life....
Thanks, and chuckling over here!
When I was a young girl my Italian grandmother taught me how to harvest dandelion
We made salad with greens. Sweet onion salt pepper red wine vinegar and oil. To some people it may seem bitter, but I grew up with it and loved it.
Thank you for this video!
Thanks, Kathleen, for your comment!
In regard to children. They must know that bitter and sweet are parts of life. Both are necessary. Enjoy them both, the dandi lions are a lesson to us all.
Some just think it is an unsightly weed and try to rid them from the earth. Oh are they missing out on improved health.
@@shuny3595 Yes!
my grandma once used the dandelion flower to make tempura for my snacks when I was a kid ,thats the greatest memory for me ever , we went to harvest the beautiful yellow flowers together and couldn’t wait too long my dearest grandma to cook it for me …. I miss that life with her even now she has passed away so many years …
My gran used it also in very similar ways; tea, side dish, salad etc.
I learned SO much about the "righteous dandelion" in your health boosters class. So did my kids! my teenage son now makes this root infusion for me. I LOVE what you're teaching, Dina!
Hello Rebekah! Thanks for your comment and love that your kids are foraging and medicine making with you too; so important! Enjoy.
I have gallstones and every time I eat dandelion (even just a little bit) or other bitter herbs, I have acute pain and get a gallstone attack. Apparently My gallbladder is full of stones and the bile production that dandelion and other potent bitter herbs produce as well as whatever stimulatory action they have on the liver and gallbladder is not conducive with gallbladder problems. The pain is severe, so I would advise caution to those with gallstones when trying this. Even eating dandelion greens in a salad sets it off. Potent stuff! GOOD stuff, fantastic health benefits for sure, but cautionary with gallbladder disease.
Hello Moosha Marie, thank you for sharing your experience here! Good to know.
Thanks for taking the time to not only educate yourself on these subjects but to pass that knowledge on to us. 🙏
Thank you for your comment, Dan. Glad to share!
I like that you told us how to add warming herbs and moistening herbs to add to dandelion's cooling and drying herbal actions effects.
Glad! Thanks for your comment.
Once again your synchronicity works with whats really going on....love the ole dandy
Thank you, Rikka!
I love Dandelions. As I was born only a few years after WW2, Mum told me that often even then, there was a lot of rationing of foods around. So, she learned from her MIL to use Dandelions in our baby food so we got the right balance of goodies in our food. Then years later when I had children, I often didn't have much money so would use Dandelion leaves in my baby food too. I'm now retired and am forced to live in a big city which is not me; I'm country born and bred, so to try and find these extraordinary little plants, is nigh on impossible. I don't have a 'yard' where I can find these plants and the council sprays everywhere so they just don't grow anywhere. I prefer to make my own things but its not easy here. Can't wait to move back to the country somewhere so I can have a place with these natural medicinal plants again.
Hello Willow, thanks for sharing these memories with us-I really like hearing them. And hoping you can start foraging again soon!
I love your videos Dina. I love your sweater too btw!

Thanks!
Thankyou x
Welcome!
Thank You for the information. I am already eating dandelion greens like forever. But never got myself to use the roots, even though I knew it's amazing.
Welcome, and, yes, the roots are amazing!
Thank you for making this video and sharing your wisdom. I’d like to compliment you on your amazing kitchen. I’ll keep an eye and ear out for your book.
Hello Melinda, thanks for appreciating the video & my kitchen! Yes, excited for you to check out my book "Foraging & Feasting: A Field Guide And Wild Food Cookbook" More about it on our site here: www.botanicalartspress.com/ and perhaps you can borrow it from your local library, and if they don't have a copy, maybe request they get one.
I pulled up some dandelions this morning after the rain to get to the roots, and now I’m on the step where I’ve put chopped roots in the oven. I’m going to make a medicinal tea for the respiratory system.
Great! 😁
Glad!
Alchemy at its best and elixirs
Thanks.
Liked and subscribed ❤
Thank you!
I live in South Florida, where the Dandelion weed doesn't grow wild. I have planted some by seed in clay pots and they thrive all year long in the shade under oak trees. I have been using the flowers and leaves for tea. Haven't used the roots yet because I would have to dig up the whole plant. I want to plant hundreds more before I do that haha. Great informative video thanks. Liked and subscribed 🌿😊
Hello DANTHEMAN, thanks for sharing your dandelion experience about growing dandelions in south Florida. Good to know. Thanks for liking and subscribing. Enjoy the channel.
Thank you 😊I live in the country and have a lot of dandelions on my property. I live in Michigan so I will be harvesting and making this once spring /summer arrives.😊
Sounds good! Enjoy.
Great teaching.
FEW questions......Please.............
How do you wash roots before using?
Best time of year to harvest?
Best way to dry root? Chop by hand first? Then dry?
Are all leaf & root herbals washed first to remove bug eggs, bug /bird poop, etc.?
If one has chlorine city water, what instead should be used for washing the herbs (if one is supposed to wash herbs before drying??) Confused?
Please. And thank you for your herbal classes. I feel like I'm in school.
Hello Ks, I wash roots with water and a scrub brush. Generally, perennial roots are best harvested after the aerial parts of the plant have died back and / or after a few hard frosts, this is usually late fall through early spring here in NY. Still, dandelions roots are sometimes harvested in mid summer for stronger bitterness. I usually harvest mine after a few hard frosts here in NY in late fall. Dry in a dehydrator and yes chop root first. Roots are always washed, but leaf and flower are not always washed. If you have chlorinated water, perhaps you can filter it (esp. before drinking it), but if not able to filter, washing roots with it in should be fine. Here is a video with lots of detail on harvesting roots of the marshmallow that I think will help you. ruclips.net/video/QxveLsDpeE0/видео.html Enjoy the channel and glad you are learning!
You are one of few herbalist that I follow.
You are straight forward and very informative.
Thank you for the wonderful information.
I guess people have become used to hearing the repulsive word
"poop."
But you seem too classy for that. It somehow doesn't seem to suit you.
Bowel regularity is a more dignified term.
Have a great spring 🍀🌻
Thanks for your comment! I appreciate the feedback.
This week I had terrible pain around my liver going to my shoulder and arm. It was super painful. I could feel my liver being bigger than usual. I already made a tincture of dandelion root a while ago and yesterday I've been drinking dandelion root tea and took the tincture a few times. The pain was gone all day and I didn't wake up with any pain either. This is magic! I'm gonna keep using it until I feel like I'm completely healed.
Thank you for sharing your experience here!
@@DinaFalconi my pleasure. After days of pain I can tell you that from the moment I took the first drops of tincture I haven't felt any pain at all. Mind is blown 😳
Thanks, keep us posted.
Utilisation svp
Very informative and you’re an inspiration- I have dandelion tea every morning but will be doing these longer infusions in the future ☀️
Thank you! Enjoy your dandelion infusions!
@@DinaFalconi is this good for cerosis of the liver want to give my dad some and is mullen good for COPD my dad's lungs are bad to
Hello Michael, thank you for your comment. Please note this information is not meant to replace medical advice. With any new food or herb for your dad, go slowly, research it, and discuss using it with his healthcare provider. Having said that, dandelion and mullein could be supportive to your dad.
Great, thanks a lot! Also for all the precautions persc. its comprehensive charachter. Can this also be done with the fresh root? Love
Thank you, best to make this with freshly dried root.
@@DinaFalconi Thank you! Love
I grow in garage in large pots so its very clean
Good to know.
Love dandelion
Thanks, yes!
As soon as i get back hydrated going to try this. I just went through a 72 hour fast 36 of those hours were a dry fast i needed a detox. This would be a great follow up and i definitely keep my dandelion root year round.
Thanks.
This was awesome info. I have been making my dandelion root detox wrong. I never let mine sit that long i bet i will get much better detox results this time.
Thank you very much this is great news. How do we your book ? So we can help our health care.
Thank you, Julie. You can get my book from my site at www.ForagingAndFeasting.com.
Unlike many others, that want to receive many reviews, likes and subs, you actually responded back to all of your comments ! I love to see when people give back, as they receive. That is beautiful. I think its disgusting when people do informative videos, then produce tons of questions from the people and then they just ignore them. Maybe because it became overwhelming for them or they just never planned on returning any questions. I guess if they were receiving funds for each question, then they would pretend and say how much they love their audience. I think thats such selfish behavior, but you are the total opposite. A true kindred soul. Now, for my question. How come you chose to steep instead of boiling ? Whats the difference and what is your method for making tinctures, extracts and poultices ? Thank you, so much and I learned how to make a more potent herbal tea, from this video. 😊
Hello Scorpionbradford, Thanks for your comment, and for appreciating my effort to answer questions. I think of social media platforms (RUclips, FB Instagram) as community building sites where we can all learn from each other.
To your ques. I was taught to make water based herbal preps the way I demo in the video. You could certainly decoct (simmer) roots, barks and some berries too, and see what you like.
For a quick peek into poulticing you can check the plantain video. Tinctures are a bit more complicated. I treat each herb differently and so can't fully explain here. But essentially use 1 part fresh plant to 2 parts menstruum or 1 part dried plant to 4-5 parts menstruum. The menstruum is tailored for each herb. This online course I've created goes into making herbal tincturing in great detail. If you are interested, more about it here: www.WildFoodHealthBoosters.com Be well.
Any thoughts on this method vs. tincture? Pros/cons of storage life vs. medicinal strength?
Thanks, I prefer as an infusion, since we can consume more of it; and I like to think of it as more of a food-medicine. Tincture is good too, but less is consumed, so less nutrients are ingested. Dried dandelion roots are pretty stable, so need to tincture them to preserve them. But again, if tincture works better for you (convenience, portable, etc), then go for it. Also, keep in mind that folks with liver issues may not want to be consuming alcohol.
Dandelion helped me with my heart and autoimmune disease which I had lupus
Hello Sonia, thank you for sharing your experience!
How do you know when you might need a liver tonic and what do you recommend on how frequently to drink this?
Good question. And no right answer here. Generally folks need liver tonics. Could drink this daily for a few weeks and then pause.
I waz just talking to My 4 year old Son about how the body receivez the codez from the medicine to help it to heal itSelf...
Great mention there
(He sayz He wants Hiz own house Hiz size with Hiz own medicine [herbal tincturez etc] & dishez & bathroom )
Ha, thanks for your comment.
What book are you using? It looks so informative.
Hello Amirah, it is my book called Foraging & Feasting. More about it on my site here: www.ForagingAndFeasting.com.
Would roasted dandelion root be acceptable for this recipe?……thanks for your wonderful videos🌻
Roasted isn't the same, but still has good stuff!
Ok, now I am binge watching all your videos 🤣🤣 what a great discovery I made today. The great Dina Falconi. Thanks again madame for your educational, informal yet authoratative presentations. I have learned so much in the past hour. 🤝
Good to know! Please keep on enjoying the channel-binging as you wish!
I’ve been making dandelion tea with the flowers and adding stinging nettle and rosemary leaves to the mix. We had an abundance of stinging nettle in our woods and our lawn is covered in dandelion and the moment so I’m making the best of it. I was wondering if the flower has healing benefits for the liver as well?
Sounds great: making the most of what is right there growing abundantly within your reach. Dandelion flowers are wonderful to consume, although not mentioned as a liver tonic (like it's roots); still very worthy!
This tea is seriously yummy.
Glad you like it!
@@DinaFalconi VERY much so!
Shared this on social media.
I go harvest my own dandelion i swear when ever my livers not feeling right 24-48 hours after drinking a couple big mugs of dandelion root it starts to feel better I’ve heard D root for liver D leaves for kidneys & just found out the D yellow flower at top is absolutely brilliant for your heart
Thanks! Good to read your comment.
Do you have any recommendations for herbs for psoriasis?
Thanks for your question, and hard to say as everyone is different and psoriasis is complicated. In general, I think it best to work with a holistic healthcare practitioner, to address food, lifestyle and herbs.
New Sub, what is good for the bladder and gall bladder?? my urine is strong i think protein and I am getting off sugar and bread and rice, trying!!
Hello Queenann, sounds good (removing empty carbs), and dandelion root could be an herbal ally for you, but please note the information I share here is not meant to replace medical advice. It would be good for you to work with an herbalist or nutritionist in your area, as we are all unique and complex creatures. And of course, with any new food or herb, go slowly, research it, and discuss using it with your healthcare provider.
I'm making a dandelion infusion for a salve right now
Nice
How long would you recommend taking that much dandelion infusion each day? It seems like that quart of tea would only last 2 days or less….you would need a fairly large amount of dandelion root if you need to take it every day for several weeks. Thanks!
Hello Blake, depends on the person. But if someone were to drink it everyday for a few weeks yes, a good amount of dandelion root would be needed.
cant fine any where iam lol you so lucky to be where you are ,never take it lightly.
got me ,you know about the metal spoon on glass.good on ya
what i like to know is how long to take it ,ya said 3 times a day but for how long??
Thanks, it depends on you and your situation, so hard to say. If drinking 3 cups a day, perhaps for a few weeks.
Thank you for nice explanation but how much hot water it was on 1 handful of dandelion root?.I am thankful for more precise measures in spoons or grams, milliliters etc. .
handful is not either precise because your handful can be bigger than my😊.Thank you for answer..
Generally speaking: 1/2-1 oz herb by weight per 32 oz water by volume. Or 14-28 grams herb to 1 liter of water. Hope this helps.
I am a little dehydrated I am working on building my water intake. I would love to help my liver what would you recommend to add to the dandelion mix to help me not dry out.
Candy, thanks for your question. Each of us is different, so not sure, but as I mention in the video perhaps a pinch of marshmallow and licorice root.
In Pakistan living Northern kpk swat herbs is life with no side effects.
Thanks!
I like your helping but how about the side effect of it. It does allergies and skin rush. What is your advise for this because I took some medication's. Thank you. God bless you.
Hello Hiayab,
Please note: this information is not meant to replace medical advice. With any new food or herb, go slowly, research it, and discuss using it with your healthcare provider. If you are on meds., you def. want to discuss this with your healthcare provider. Be well!
Do you have a video for anxiety ?
You might like to view these herbal videos that speak to supporting the nervous sustem and anxiety: Motherwort: ruclips.net/video/81oxE1Qqep8/видео.html Chamomile: ruclips.net/video/YiFJNDXAhO8/видео.html St Johnswort: ruclips.net/video/-m2we9WCuaw/видео.html Milky Oat: ruclips.net/video/hE_CX3D6qIM/видео.html
Any recommendation on how to collect the roots, apart from digging it up, cleaning it, and letting it dry ?
Thank you so much for these vids, great, informative. And I definitely want get your book, but at $120.- on amazon ..... !? I have to shop for a cheaper version LOL
Thank you. You can get my book on my site for much less: www.ForagingAndFeasting.com And, yes, dig, wash and dry is the only way I know how to gather dandie roots.
Dear Dina, would love to have a video of yours on wood avens. Love
Thanks for your suggestion. What is the scientific name of the plant you mention?
@@DinaFalconi Geum urbanum
Thank you. I am familiar with Geums but not urbanum.
@@DinaFalconi Fine, thank you dear! In Europe it (string roots) is used as a replacement for cloves and it is also good for strengthening. I came across it especially this winter, finding it almost everywhere in the forest or it was one of the few (herbal) green ones. So I was interested to know your possible usage. Looking forward to your other content. Love
@@dukenegju Interesting, good to know about its replacement for cloves!
I've seen people roast the root and make a coffee substitute with the dandelion root. Does that still have any of the benefits of steeping the root?
Renee, yes, would have some.
I have 2 gallstone small thats causing me to havr bad digestion i was told to try the Dandelion roots but i need another opinion.
Thanks, and as you may know, I can't / don't like to give specific medical advice to individuals. Still, thinking dandelion may be good, but best to work in person with a holistic health care supporter.
Hi Dina ❤️ since you have learned more about lids, what type of lid would you recommend for this recipe?
I prefer a ceramic lid for hot water infusions, but do the best you can.
@DinaFalconi where are those available at for mason jars?
I use an old lid from another jar / mug, but you can look around and see what you have that can work.
Can you please tell me the name of the book you referred to.
Thank you
Thanks, sure it's Foraging & Feasting: A Field Guide And Wild Food Cookbook by Dina Falconi; illustrated by Wendy Hollender. More about it on our site here: www.botanicalartspress.com/
If you wanted to add multiple herbs into one herbal tonic is it best to steep them separately and add the infusions all together after or can you steep them all together at one time?
You do it that way, or depending on the herbs, I would figure out an optimal steeping time.
Most dandelions I encounter are growing along busy streets with a lot of traffic. So that's not very clean. But what about the roots of those dandelions, are they contaminated too or is everything below the ground relatively clean?
Best to harvest dandelion roots growing in a clean / not roadside environment. Ideal locations to forage these roots would be an organic farm , unsprayed lawn, or community garden, or the like.
How do you know how long to steep each individual herb? X
Here is an excerpt from my book Foraging & Feasting about steeping times:
Place herb in jar and slowly pour in boiling water until jar is full. Cap the jar and let steep (sit) from 10 minutes to 8 hours. The steeping period varies depending on the herb and personal preference, but in general infuse as follows:
• Flowers for 10 minutes-1 hour
• Leaves for 30 minutes-4 hours
• Roots, barks and berries for 1-8 hours
• When combining different plants' parts, steeping times are less clear but can be estimated based on the given times.
Would the medicinal benefit still be available if the dandelion root is roasted?
Hello Kathy, thanks for your question. From my research and education, raw is different than roasted. Still, the nutrients would be similar, but for medicinal purposes, I use the raw.
Dearest Dina? Is it possible to do the recipe with FRESH not dry, dug up dandelion root. Or will it get funky?
What would be the recipe?
Thanks, for this best to use dried. Fresh root won't release much into the water, but you can try. When using fresh rather than dried, I usually triple or quadruple the amount of herb.
@@DinaFalconi thank you 😊 why is it that fresh does not release as much as dry? Very interesting?
The cell walls of dried plants have ruptured.
That's good to know .another plant I will no longer consider a weed.I make a lovely soup from my garden in spring with nettles wild garlic and watercress.I will ads dandelion to the recipe!thanks Dina.😉
Glad to hear dandelions will be food and medicine for you! Enjoy.
When do u take it . Empty stomach , bed time, with food? Schedule? Timing?
Thanks, best to take it away from food (20 minutes before eating or 2 hours after). I don't suggest it before bed (it can act as a diuretic).
Is it ok to combine danelion and milk thistle
Yes, good combo!
If you have had a liver transplant and are raking anti rejection meds can you still use this tea
Thank you for your comment. And as always, the info I share is not meant to replace medical advice. With any new food or herb, go slowly, research it, and discuss using it with your healthcare provider.
Can it be fresh root ?
Best to use dried, since drying ruptures the cell walls, creating a more potent infusion.
Your cool
Thanks!
Your welcome hun!😀
Hey dina, I purchased a dandelion root and milk thistle liquid form from the vitamin shoppe by the brand plant, is that considered a tincture? If so it's it a good choice?
Hello Rafael, not sure what you've purchased.... need more info: ingredients, alcohol content, herb to menstruum ratio, etc.
Thanks, Rafael, for the link. I don't know the product, and when I looked on their site, I didn't see much about how they make it. I am guessing it's a glycerite extract. Not sure of its quality, so I can't recommend it. I wonder if you could find a good herbalist in your area who makes tinctures that you could buy.
@@DinaFalconi it taste sweet, so idk it says no alcohol nor sugar, I returned them both lol. I'll stick to my capsules it's healthier than an insulin response from a fake extract. 🥺🫣
Good to know. I see glycerine in the ingredients, which would make it sweet.
What's the difference between this and tea bags?
Thanks, you can use tea bags, if they are of good quality and not too old.
Where els can we get your book? I try not to use the behemoth Amazon..
Thank you, you can get it right from us at our site: www.ForagingAndFeasting.com. I share your sentiments on the behemoth.
What about the leaves are they good?
Yes, dandelion leaves are gooood! More about the dandelion plant here: ruclips.net/video/DuNLudJ5o-c/видео.html
Can we give this to children?
Thank you, generally speaking, yes.
So you take the root and cut it up? Id love to detox my " fatty" liver, which i believe is not helpinge lose weight like i need to! 😊
Yes, use the root dried and cut. Also, generally speaking, fatty liver responds very well to a low carb / no sugar / no alcohol menu.
Does Dandelion tea helps to cure cholinergic Urticaria ?
Thanks, I have no experience with cholinergic urticaria; so can not say. Still, dandelion root may be helpful in a general way, and may be worth a try.
I have bladder cancer will it help it ???
Thanks, and please note that I suggest finding a holistic health care provider to work with in person. Sending healing wishes.
Can you use it on your dog if the have stomach problems?
Hello Louise, not sure, but worth a try.
What I do,rather than the 8 hour steep,is take the roots,and push them through a garlic press,along with a bit of turmeric,and add it to the hot water.
Instant happiness,no wait required!
Thanks, interesting!
Does the turmeric work synergistically along with the dandelion for the instant happiness effect?
Do we have to dry it?
Yes, best to use dried, as the cell walls are rupture during dehydration and make for a stronger brew.
