Frequently Asked Questions : 1) Why is tea a good delivery system ? The body must absorb herbal preparations efficiently. Sufficient evidence exists demonstrating that Traditional Herbal Medicine (THM) in a liquid form (fluid extracts, tea decoctions or infusions, syrups, tinctures) are more readily absorbed into the system than if they are dried for use in a solid-dosage form (capsules and tablets). A tea infusion allows the natural interactions between the various components in the herbs to occur. Water is an inexpensive, pure and readily available extraction solvent, is non-toxic and has a wide range of solvent actions. Most of the major compound groups occurring in plants are either soluble in boiling water or will release into the water in time, due to the interactions occurring during the water extraction process. 2 ) What will Organic Dandelion Root do for me? Dandelion root tea has shown "choleretic" effects, which means that it can stimulate the liver to increase bile flow. * Once the liver releases bile, its two main functions are to carry away waste and to break down fats during digestion. 3) How do I know it works? Dandelion's beneficial effects on liver and biliary tract function have been proven in many studies. * 4) How does it taste? A pleasant roasted taste, sweet and slightly bitter.

We recommend using 1 - 2 teaspoons of leaf per 8 oz of water at a rolling boil (212 F) and steeping 5 to 10 minutes. This provides a sweeter, better tasting brew while repeated infusions allow you to extract all the nutritional and medicinal benefits from the herb. Herbal teas can be brewed in porcelain, ceramic, glass, or stainless steel but never in aluminum or other harmful materials. Be sure to cover the cup or teapot while steeping to prevent the loss of fragrant essential oils and other therapeutic and nutritional elements.
