You have to get rid of all that dandelion in your yard anyway, why not put it to good use? It’s easy to dry: simply scrub, chop into pieces, and dry in a dehydrator until crisp. Store in airtight container until ready to use. Dandelion is often considered a liver cleanser and helps rid the body of inflammation. Valerian root can be used as a tea and tincture made in the same manner as dandelion and is most often used as a way to soothe anxiety and promote sleep. If you harvest from the wild, please do so responsibly. Like dandelion, give the roots a scrub and use fresh or dry.
