MAK1AH 04/28/2009. Dandelion root should be raw, not roasted. Roasted is for flavor, not for health. The root is a hepatonic, anti-inflammatory, (reduces bile duct and liver inflammation), and a cholagogue. The leaves are a diuretic, digestive, mild cholagogue and liver tonic.
Add 1 teaspoon of dried dandelion root to a cup of hot water. Cover and steep for 5 to 10 minutes. Strain, add a little honey for taste and drink it. Drink 3 cups of this herbal tea daily for a few weeks. You can also add fresh tender dandelion leaves to salads, or eat cooked dandelion leaves as a side dish.
