Dandelion Tea for Allergies: Does the Hype Match the Reality?

Dandelion Tea for Allergies: Does it Work? A board-certified allergist weighs in on the use of dandelion tea as an allergy remedy. While some individuals report positive results, Dr. Rubin, MD, cautions that the scientific evidence supporting its effectiveness is currently weak. He highlights the need for further research to determine its efficacy for a broad population. He also warns of potential cross-reactive allergies with mugwort, a plant with similar properties. "While some people report improvement in their allergy symptoms, the evidence isn't strong enough for me to recommend dandelion tea broadly," says Dr. Rubin. He emphasizes the importance of consulting a healthcare professional for personalized advice on allergy treatment.
