As you may have seen in our post offering our Top 3 Skincare Tea Recommendations, dandelion root tea offers a plethora of skin benefits. Some of these benefits include help alleviate skin irritation, diminish acne, diminish dark spots, promote even skin tone, reduce blemishes, minimize wrinkles and fine lines, and support liver detoxification for holistic skin wellness.
Disclaimer: Before we begin, I want to let you know that you must be careful when consuming this tea. Please remember to consult your doctor or health practitioner first. Although generally safe when consumed in moderation, in some people, dandelion can cause increased stomach acid and heartburn, interact with medication or cause other side effects. In addition, this tea also brews to a dark brown colour and can easily stains teeth. Luckily, opting to use a straw whenever possible can mitigate this. Please be mindful when choosing to have this tea. Now, let’s get into it!
Ingredients
● 1 cup of water
● 1 tablespoon of dried dandelion root (alternative: 2 sachets of dandelion root tea)
Directions
- Boil 1 cup of water in a pot.
- Add the dried or fresh dandelion root to the boiling water.
