In traditional herbalism though, the dried leaves are used primarily as an ideal potassium-rich source to help maintain the body's natural water balance.Both Dandelion leaves and root have traditional applications for supporting liver, gallbladder, and digestive system health, but herbalists agree that the leaves are more so targeted toward promoting healthy kidney function.In addition, Dandelion leaves are also recognized as a nutrient-rich source of important minerals and vitamins, including iron, vitamins A, C & D.
