Ext: Taraxac: (Taraxacum)

An extract of the dandelion called taraxacum, which is slightly tonic, diuretic, and aperient, was thought to have a specific action upon the liver. It was mentioned in Nicolas Culpeper's 'The Complete Herbal' (1653) that it was in more general use among herbalists than almost any other herb.
