When I was a child I used to be intent on dandelions not being a weed. Why would you want to kill sun-shiny flowers that turn into wish-makers? I know I'm not alone. Something happ ens when you're an adult with an HOA that makes you feel like you ought to kill them too. But a couple of years ago I learned that dandelions are actually a potent medicine! Not only to they assist your liver in clearing out the gunk, but it also acts as a wildly effective diuretic. Sadly, when I travel, sometimes my feet swell up. The last time I flew, I hit the dandelion tincture right after I got home and my feet were back to normal within hours. I would say that is miraculous. For those of you wanting to detox, this is a fantastic gentle detox herb. However, if you start feeling detox symptoms, take a couple of activated charcoal tablets and it will bind to the toxins being released in your body to flush out in the bathroom. I love having this on hand to get things moving with a UTI, puffiness, or if I feel my system is needing cleaned. Additionally, dandelion is considered a "bitter" herb that gets your digestion going. In times past, people used to eat bitter herbs before consuming their meals in order to warm up their digestion. There are so many hidden treasures with this herb! As it turns out, dandelions were never a weed at all. They were medicine all along. (AND a wish-maker). Show more
