Dandelion root has been used for liver and gallbladder diseases for centuries. In the 10th and 11th centuries, when it was widely used by Arabian doctors, extensive records of its medicinal uses emerged. In 16th-century England, known as the herb “dandelion”, it became an officially recognized medicine by pharmacists and was widely accepted as a popular remedy for liver and digestive problems. In Germany during the same period, dandelion was widely used for “blood cleansing” and liver congestion. It is truly a global herb and is still used as an official medicine in Switzerland, Poland, Hungary, and Russia. Considerable research on its medicinal and nutritional effects has been conducted in many European countries. In China, India, and Nepal, dandelion has also been used as a liver-nourishing herb for centuries. Today, dandelion is widely used as a tonic in North America and Eastern Europe.
