Learn how to use dandelion root for kidney problems from harvest to drying and to using it as a natural medicine for kidney stones, sand and edema. Let’s go.
Dandelion is probably the most widespread medicinal plant in Romania. Dandelion leaves and stems are most commonly used in natural medicine, although the root possesses the strongest healing properties. With an extremely bitter taste that stimulates digestive, assimilative, and excretory functions, it is especially used at the end of winter and the beginning of spring as a powerful liver detoxifier. Modern medical studies confirm the detoxifying effect of dandelion, effectively catalyzing all processes of toxin and metabolic waste elimination from the body. Furthermore, dandelion root is considered one of the best plants for preventing cardiovascular diseases.
Before we show you how to use dandelion root for kidney problems, let’s see how to harvest and dry this medicinal root plant to obtain the highest quality medicine from it.
How to Harvest Dandelion Root
Dandelion roots are harvested at the end of winter and the beginning of spring, along with the underground stem that stores important nutrients, known as the rhizome. Harvesting is done by digging them up with a spade. After harvesting, wash the dandelion roots well in running water, then split them lengthwise if they are thick, and lay them out to dry in a thin layer in a warm, dry place. Once the drying process is complete (when the roots become rigid and snap with a crisp sound), store them in paper bags in clean, dry places, for later use.
Dandelion root harvested in early spring is at its peak healing power, cleansing the body like a natural detergent.

How to Use Dandelion Root for Kidney Problems
For kidney problems, dandelion tincture can be prepared and used as follows. Put 20 tablespoons of dandelion root powder in a jar, then pour over two cups (500 ml) of 40% food-grade alcohol. Seal the jar tightly and allow it to macerate for two weeks in a warm place, then strain it. Pour the dandelion root tincture into small amber bottles. The regular dosage is 1 tsp of dandelion tincture in 1/2 cup of water, 4 to 6 times a day.
This is an excellent remedy for fluid retention, manifested as swollen eyelids, hands, or feet, as well as increased blood pressure. Dandelion tincture also aids in the elimination of kidney sand (renal microlithiasis), and as a prevention for relapsing kidney stones that have already been surgically removed, whether they are urates, oxalates, or phosphates, as well as kidney injury from medical drugs.
