The Dandy Dandelion and Why She Deserves Better


Listen Later

So a little while ago, my podcast editor requested an episode on dandelion (Taraxacum officinale). As an herbalist, I assume everyone knows all about dandelion because it’s such a stand out plant friend thanks to all that she has to offer us. Almost every herbalist I’ve interviewed seems to mention it, right back to my very first episode interviewing Missy Rohs of the Arctos School of Herbal & Botanical Studies. Missy loves dandelions! However, when I accidentally saw a commercial for “weed killer” starring an oh-so capable man lording over his unwitting prey, spray bottle in hand. News flash: we aren’t at war with the plants, people!


Far from it, in fact. So in this episode I familiarize you with some of the history and lore surrounding this wonderful plant friend. We’ll talk about how it got its name and how you can spot its many, many imposters. We’ll touch on one of the best way to get herbal medicine on board which is in your food. You are what you eat, right?

So sit back, relax, and lend an ear to learn the ins and outs of the oh so dandy Dandelion.
