Dandelion is grown in our own backyards. Herb Pocket workers grow plants without herbicides, pesticides, insecticides, fungicides, etc. That’s better than “certified organic.” When we harvest herbs it’s at the right time of day and at the right time of year for the best medicine. As we harvest we notice and discard rusted leaves, grass pieces, bugs, and yellowed leaves. We harvest (usually within a few minutes) and immediately take the plants inside where, if needed, they are washed and dried as quickly as possible. We do not use a steam application to kill bugs on freshly harvested plants. Our herbs dry in a dark room until they are placed in a paper sack for storage, also in a dark room. If a tincture is being made from the dried plant, we aim to make it within 6 weeks of harvest. If a tincture is made from the fresh plant, it is made within 48 hours of harvest. All plants and plant medicine are kept in the dark as much as possible during and after processing as well as during storage.. We pick every flower and leaf. We give thanks to the plants. We pour our heart and soul into providing a top quality product because we expect the plants to be very good at supporting normal body function to help our families.
Something exceptional about Herb Pocket is that we try to be as transparent as possible as to what exactly you are purchasing.
As a new company in 2022 we are still learning and so we’d appreciate your patience and feedback. Contact us at herbpocket2@gmail.com
The entire plant of dandelion is edible and medicinal. Dandelion is arguably the most nutrient dense plant on the planet and is a good antioxidant & immune stimulant. The root is stronger (by just a little) than the leaves as a liver tonic. And the leaves are stronger (by just a little) than the root as a kidney tonic. It is a powerful diuretic (makes you pee more) but also is a good source of potassium. This is important because when you pee you lose potassium. Dandelion is a terrific bitter meaning it tastes bitter. If you take a taste of dandelion 20 to 30 minutes before a meal significant things happen in your digestive tract that help the body get ready for food such as, salivation, hormones and enzymes from the pancreas get going, gut movement begins, and appetite and digestion are improved. Dandelion grows all over the world. What a beautiful plant that’s needed greatly in our day. It just does sooo many good things in the body.
Cautions: Dandelion is very safe. Some people are allergic. If you have a ragweed allergy, be careful with this plant. There are some drug interactions with dandelion as with many herbs..
