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.

What studies say about the key ingredients

Traditional use is not the same as clinical proof. Here is the strongest human research we found for each ingredient, limitations included.

Incremental area under the curve did not differ significantly between groups.Limitation: Small sample of healthy young adults given a single high-fat meal, so longer-term effects and effects in people with metabolic conditions are unknown.PubMed 36677639 · 1 more chrysanthemum study
