Home remedies to relieve various illnesses have been proven effective, but it’s important to notify your doctor if you’re using any herbal supplement, especially if you’re using medications.
The entire plant can be consumed, even though the dandelion roots are the best part of the plant. It is recommended to harvest the roots in the fall, which is when the levels of inulin or insoluble fiber are the highest and the fructose levels are the lowest. You can dry them, which is the best way to use them at a later time. Once the roots are dry you can make tea. The flowers can also be eaten, but it’s important to only eat those that haven’t been touched by pesticides.
