I've never heard of boiling them, I have heard of watering with ice cold water towards the end of harvest. There is a professor out there named Linda Chalker-Scott. She works at University of Washington I believe, and she has a tutorial on their website that explains to you the steps to take in order to find out if any information you have gotten is "scientifically proven" or just "bro-science". It has taught me tons when it comes to what I read and believe. Look her up! Good growing.
Thats a first time for me, can't even think of a benefit to par boiling roots. We boil dandelion roots for consumption. Now if you want to talk about icing the roots prior to harvest, that I've done many times.
@Living Gardening I heard this from an old timer. They said " A quick dip in really hot water will push all the juice out to the buds. The trichomes will drip off the flowers." I haven't done this or heard of anyone else doing it, but I was curious if there is anything to it.

I've heard of it. Old-school bro science
