Dandelion Leaf

Dandelion is so good for so many issues in the body it’s a wonder God has placed them abundantly on the earth! Dandelion leaf is used primarily for Kidney health. It is a natural diuretic helping with such complaints as edema, excess water weight, heart health, and kidney function. Most diuretics deplete your body’s supply of potassium so it has to be added back into the body, not so with dandelion, it comes with its own source of potassium. This wonderful plant also acts as a blood purifier, eliminating toxins in the kidney that may lead to stone formation. The leaves are tasty in a salad and offer a slightly bitter taste. The unopened buds roasted have a capper taste and eating the whole flowers can help one stop the urge to smoke tobacco. Because so many yards get exhaust fumes from traffic and toxins from weed killers, we recommend that you don’t pick dandelions from your yard unless you know they are safe. However, if you have an area away from the beaten path and animals – this is a great friend to have close by.
