Dandelion is capable of creating abundant health benefits upon our body. In

western countries, it has long been labeled as a "natural antibiotic". While fro

m the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, it is often used as an antip

yretic and an antidote to heat toxicity. So coincidentally, the western and east

ern medicine have reached a consensus upon dandelion's valuable medicinal

uses.



Dandelion is very common to see in the wild throughout the year around the

world. It's characterized with its tooth-edged leaves and yellow flowers. People

in Europe and Asia very often use dandelion as both food and medicine. In

food, it is consumed as salad greens, and also can be added in soup, wine

and tea. Its root is used as coffee substitute after being roasted.



In fact, eating dandelions in a long run can be helpful to many ailments,

such as acute mastitis, lymphadenitis, boils and carbuncle, acute

conjunctivitis, cold and fever, acute tonsillitis, acute bronchitis, gastritis,

hepatitis, urinary tract infection, hot eyes, acute pharyngitis, difficult

urination, and so on. In medicine, the whole body of dandelion can be

used to make herbal concoctions or herbal extracts.

peroxidation and free radicals which prevent our liver from functioning

function, the B vitamins in particular. It helps clean the liver and increase the

production of bile. That's the reason why dandelion has long been used as a

herbal treatment for many liver diseases, like hepatitis.

o officially registered as a diuretic that can relieve edema. It cares your skin a

ed a non-toxic herb. However, it may lead to a variety of adverse reactions if use

d improperly. Therefore, clinically before we actually consume dandelion, we sh

ould make sure whether or not our condition is caused by heat, use it with cautio

n and consult professionals.
