Dandelion Root and Yellow Chrysanthemum Tea

Why people make this tea

Dandelion is far more than a garden weed. Research into dandelion root — and Nourilo has kept a close eye on it for years — suggests it has broad antimicrobial activity, including against the bacteria Helicobacter pylori that is responsible for most stomach and duodenal ulcers. The processed, tea-cut dandelion root sold in specialist herb shops has a surprisingly clean, mildly earthy aroma — very approachable for everyday steeping. Paired with Hangzhou yellow chrysanthemum, which helps disperse stagnant liver qi and reduce swelling in traditional Chinese terms, this is one of the more practical daily teas for anyone prone to digestive discomfort, bloating, or chronic gastric irritation.
