Combat Your Coffee Consumption With Dandelion Coffee

 

One of the more challenging parts of detoxing is giving up your daily coffee. If you rely on coffee to get you up and going each morning, going without it for your 14 day detox may see you clutching onto your latte for dear life! 

Fortunately, combating your coffee addiction during a detox doesn’t have to be that hard. Swapping your morning brew for a caffeine-free coffee substitute can make the detox experience easier. Dandelion root is the preferred herbal alternative that will give you a similar taste and experience without the caffeine.

What is Dandelion Root?

Dandelion has been used for centuries for medicinal purposes, with both its leaves and roots offering multiple uses. Dandelion root is commonly extracted, dried or roasted, ground, and blended into a mixture that is drunk as a tea. Its bitter, earthy flavour makes it popular as a caffeine-free alternative to coffee.

Dandelion Coffee Benefits

One of the most obvious benefits of dandelion coffee is that it can help you quit caffeine during (and after) your detox. But its benefits extend well past that.

Digestion Aid

Dandelion root is perfect for healing and nourishing your gut during a detox. It promotes healthy digestion and helps to balance out bacteria in the intestine. It also works to release stomach acid and bile that support a healthy digestive tract.

Liver Support

During your detox, dandelion is the perfect companion for your liver, as it helps the liver remove toxins and balance electrolytes. 

Immunity Support

If inflammation and a low immune system create constant issues for you, you’ll love the extra support that dandelion gives your body. It works to reduce inflammation and improve blood cells using its high levels of antioxidants and phytonutrients.

How to Make a Dandelion Root ‘Coffee’

If you want to support your detox with dandelion root coffee, it’s easy to do. 

Fortunately, you don’t have to grow your own dandelions in the garden and make your own mixture to get access to this wonderful plant. There are plenty of dandelion coffee alternatives available at health stores, so you can focus on hitting reset during your detox with a nice cup of dandelion brew.

Dandelion root coffee can be made like instant coffee. Simply add a spoonful of store-bought dandelion root to a mug with boiling water and mix well. The consistency is naturally creamy, but you can add plant-based milk or natural sweeteners based on your preferences.

If you’re looking for a natural, caffeine-free coffee substitute to help you through your detox, give dandelion root coffee a try – you might never go back to the real thing.
