Dandelion Root and Honeysuckle Tea

Why people make this tea

Dandelion has long been valued in food therapy for clearing heat and “heat-toxin” patterns. Both the leaf and the roasted root can be steeped as tea, and Nourilo likes pairing the root (or leaf) with honeysuckle flower. The combination is traditionally turned to for everyday heat complaints — the kind of low-grade “fired up” feeling many people get — and modern interest in dandelion has grown alongside its reputation. If you eat a lot of raw seafood, take care of your stomach generally.
