A member asked:

How can a dandelion root herbal pill be used to make tea?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It can't: You don't use herbal pills to make tea, you use herbs to make tea. A dandelion root pill has been processed into a form that will likely make a really nasty tea. On the other hand, dandelion root, dried, then chopped or ground, makes a pretty good tea.
