Why people make this tea
Dandelion (pu gong ying) is one of the most versatile cooling herbs in the Chinese food-therapy canon, with a long history of use for conditions ranging from skin infections and eye inflammation to stomach and urinary tract concerns. It is now widely available in a clean, tea-leaf style preparation — light, fragrant, and not at all bitter — making it easy to brew as a regular daily cup. The lecithin it contains is specifically noted for supporting liver function — making it a sensible regular brew as part of a heart-healthy diet, for those with a sensitive stomach, or a tendency toward heat-related digestive discomfort.
Safety first — read before you cook
This is a traditional food, not a treatment. Please check with your doctor or pharmacist before making it a regular part of your diet if you:
- are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are cooking for a young child;
- take regular medicines — especially blood thinners, blood-pressure, diabetes or immune-suppressing drugs;
- have a kidney, liver or heart condition, or a known food allergy.
Stop eating it and seek advice if you notice an allergic reaction or feel unwell. Safety notes reviewed 8 October 2026 · How we write safety notes
