Taraxacum, or the ordinary dandelion, is a decided liver remedy. If given long enough, it will produce a free flow of bile. The symptoms to guide you in its selection are these : the tongue is mapped, and there are bitter taste in the mouth, chilliness after eating or drinking, pain and soreness in the region of the liver, and bilious diarrhoea. The use of this drug in typhoid fever was mentioned in a recent lecture on Rhus toX. Artemisia tridentata also suits bilious patients who suffer from headache, vertigo, nausea, bitter taste, backache, etc.
