Dandelion Tea Introduction

Taraxacum, commonly known simply as dandelion, refers to a couple of very similar species that most of us know very well. The name originates from French and when it’s translated means “lion’s tooth”. Dandelion is thought to be native to Europe and the seeds were intentionally brought over to America for the propagation by the colonists. After that, it quickly spread as a wildflower and can now easily be found all over the world.

This herb is has an incredibly long history and fossils tell us that the dandelion plant has been around and evolved 30 million years ago! That’s really incredible and it tells us that this herb has always been around humans and that we have been using it for many, many years. It was first cultivated for food, since all parts of the dandelion plant are edible and nutritious, but it was soon recognized to be an amazing natural remedy. If we speak of ancient times, many thousand years ago, those people didn’t have modern medicine and they would look to nature in order to cure different ailments and preserve their health.

The first records of use go as far back as the Persian times where famous scientists and philosophers wrote about it. The Chinese used the greens and roots of dandelions to “cool the blood” and in medieval folklore, the entire plant was seen as a herb of prosperity and protection, honored for its powerful medicinal value. This wild edible herb was not viewed as a simple weed in the olden days, but as a very powerful medicine. It is also an important part of Ayurvedic medicine, which is an ancient healing system of India that is recently becoming more and more famous in the western world.

Apart from using it for cooking and making wine and beers, the most famous form of dandelion today is, of course, the tea. You can make it from the roots, leaves, flowers or mix it all together to make an interesting herbal blend. This tea tastes sweet and slightly bitter, having a recognizable floral taste. Herbal tea lovers will definitely appreciate the flavor and smell of this tea.

Dandelion tea can also be a great cold beverage as you can make it into an iced tea. It is famous for its cooling and drying properties so that makes it a perfect summer drink to combat hot temperatures. Another drink that has become very popular recently is dandelion coffee which is made from roasted dandelion roots. Many describe it as a perfect substitute for coffee because it has a similar taste, but doesn’t contain caffeine and is actually good for you.

Dandelion has become famous as a superfood in recent years and that speaks volumes about its power to make you feel better and healthier. For that reason, it is a very good idea to at least drink dandelion tea if you’re not into using it for cooking. Drinking one cup or more a day is the simplest way to keep your health in check and get all the benefits this tea offers.
