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.
Dandelion is an herb. People use the above ground parts and root to make medicine. Dandelion is used for many conditions, but so far, there isnât enough scientific evidence to determine whether or not it is effective for any of them.Dandelion is used for loss of appetite, upset stomach, intestinal gas, gallstones, joint pain, muscle aches, eczema, and bruises.Dandelion is also used to increase urine production and as a laxative to increase bowel movements. A specific combination of dandelion root and leaf extracts of another herb called uva ursi taken by mouth seems to help reduce the number of UTIs in women. 2  In this combination, uva ursi is used because it seems to kill bacteria, and dandelion is used to increase urine flow.
