Dried dandelion root (Taraxacum officinale), earthy and bitter.
Traditionally used in herbalism: A treasured bitter 'alterative' and liver tonic — traditionally taken to support healthy digestion, gentle detoxification, and the body's clearing processes. The roasted root has long been a beloved coffee substitute.
A little lore: A herb of divination and wishes — the seed-head blown to send wishes and call the spirits.
Close to home: Yes — dandelions need no introduction; they grow in every Ontario lawn and field.
In your cup & cauldron: Roast and simmer for a rich coffee-like brew, or decoct as a tonic tea.
