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.
A typical dose is 2 to 8 grams of dried root three times daily, or 250 milligrams of an extract, three to four times daily. Although generally considered quite safe, do not take dandelion if you have gall bladder disease or gallstones.
