Dandelion Root

Dandelion roots is one amazing plant. The root is primarily used for the liver. Its bitter flavor stimulates liver function. Helping the body expel toxins and fats stored in cells. It has natural insulin and can help regulate blood sugar. Dandelion root helps stimulate bile production aiding in gull badder production. The liver function is so critical to overall health that one cup of Dandelion root tea in the morning can set your digestive tract up for the full day ahead. It works as a mild laxative without taking potassium out of the body. Because it detoxifies the body and has anti-bacterial properties, it helps with acne as well. Dandelion is also used as a blood purifier and has what some may visualize as a broom sweeping away toxin buildup in its path. This is true for the leaf as well as the root. We like a well-known liver tonic of Dandelion root and Milk Thistle seed together in a tincture blend, several times a day for one week. Doing this every four to six months will help with your overall health. Dandelions have long tap roots that go deep into the soil allowing them to soak up wonderful nutrients such as calcium and vitamin K. Dandelions can also be found in weight loss formulas because of their ability to break down fats and toxins and get them out of the body.

Dandelions are relatively safe for everyone. Allergies may be the only complaint as this herb is closely related to the ragweed family. If you suffer from severe allergies, consult your healthcare professional first.
