For centuries, dandelion root has been used as a medicinal herb by cultures all over the world. In Europe, where the dandelion is still strongly considered a medicinal and nutritional source, dandelion roots are used for weight loss, fever, diabetes and diarrhea.

Native Americans used dandelion root in a boiled version to treat swelling, skin problems, stomach upset and kidney disease.

There are hundreds of species of dandelion that grow in many areas of North America, Asia and Europe. In France and Germany, the dandelion is cultivated primarily for its medicinal value. All parts of the dandelion--flower, leaves and roots--are used for medicinal and nutritional purposes. In Europe, the leaves of the dandelion are eaten in salads, sandwiches or other ways that greens are eaten for their nutritional value. The leaves are best when harvested in the spring; roots are most functional if harvested in the fall.
