It is commonly enjoyed to support the body’s natural detoxification processes, with a particular focus on liver and digestive function. Many people turn to dandelion root when experiencing bloating, sluggish digestion, or a heavy feeling after meals, as its naturally occurring bitter compounds and inulin help encourage healthy bile flow, digestive balance, and overall metabolic support.

Are there Nettle Leaves only or stems as well?
