All of our herbal extracts use organically grown and/or ethically wildcrafted herbs and certified organic food-grade ethanol diluted to specific potencies in filtered and/or distilled rainwater, unless otherwise specified.

Dandelion leaf (Taraxacum officinale) is herb belonging to the daisy (Asteraceae) family, originally considered native to temperate regions of Eurasia. Due to its widespread dispersal and adaptability, dandelion has naturalised in many parts of the world becoming a well recognised medicinal "weed".

Dandelion is traditionally known to be a great blood-cleanser by encouraging the elimination of accumulated toxins resulting from dampness and fluid stagnation. The leaf in particular, has a local action on the kidneys and broader urinary system, helping to expel fluid build up from the tissues without depleting potassium stores. Other cleansing qualities of dandelion are attributed to its nutritive and bitter compounds which can support liver function, increase digestive secretions and help to reduce systemic inflammation in the body.

  • Antipathy in Galenic medicine involved using treatments that possessed qualities opposite to those of the humor associated with the disease. For example, if a patient had a condition characterised by excessive heat, such as a fever, Galenic physicians would prescribe remedies with cooling or cold properties to counterbalance the excess heat. Similarly, if a condition was considered excessively moist, treatments with drying or astringent properties would be employed.
