Mother Earth Essentials Plant Data

Dandelion

Considered a pesky weed by most, the Dandelion is a treasured medicine by herbalists for common ailments today. Dandelion flowers, leaves and roots all find their way into the herbal medicine chest and have a number of benefits to offer. The whole plant is used to make medicine and has broad tonic effects on several systems of the body. Dandelion benefits digestion by stimulating digestive juices and liver function, promoting the flow of bile. Its leaves assist the kidneys, removing excess body fluids and Dandelion also has a tonic and laxative effect in the intestinal tract . It is high in vitamins and minerals too, especially Vitamin A, which makes Dandelions generally quite nutritious. Dandelion's effect toward improving organ function has the overall benefits of detoxification. Through efficient removal of wastes from the body the blood is cleansed of impurities and overall benefits are apparent in vitality, resistance to disease, and weight management.
