Dandelion Leaves in Traditional Chinese Medicine

Dandelion is primarily used in TCM to clear toxic heat from throughout the body, especially the Liver. The eyes are considered a “flower” of the Liver, meaning the health of the Liver is often reflected in the state of health of the eyes. Dandelion is used to clear toxic heat from the Liver, and by doing so, reduces redness and swelling of the eyes.*

Dandelion clears heat from the bladder to treat urinary tract infections. It also acts as a diuretic to relieve water retention. It reduces swelling and can treat a sore throat.*
