Dandelion Root Tincture

This is my go to herb for supporting liver health. Our livers need some major help cleansing the toxin overload we are exposed to. (Many health issues stem from liver stagnation.... so by helping our livers out a bit, we are addressing part of the root (pun intended) cause! (I'm creating a new liver loving detox/cleanse tincture including dandelion)

HOW TO MAKE 

Start by digging up fresh dandelion roots or purchase dried organic/wild harvested dandelion roots. 

If starting with fresh roots, wash and chop them into small pieces, then lay them out in an even layer to wilt and dry out for a few days. They don't need to be completely dry, but it helps!

Fill a jar halfway with the roots then cover with 100 proof vodka (or other 100 proof alcohol). Cover and shake this up daily for 4-6 weeks.

After 4-6 weeks, use a nut milk bag or fine mesh strainer to separate the roots from the liquid. Transfer your root infused alcohol into a clean jar with a secure fitting lid for storage. To use, distribute into dropper bottles. Consume 1-2 dropperfuls daily, diluted in juice, tea, water, or a smoothie! 

NOTE: Harvest only from areas that haven't been sprayed with pesticides!
