Detox Power house: Dandelion

Dandelion has many properties that make it an excellent candidate for your healthy detox lifestyle. It has been used for thousands of years for food in addition to an excellent herbal remedy for dozens of ailments.

I personally  have benefited from using the tincture, over the last couple of months and felt phenomenon afterwards, clearer skin, excess water in my body and the huge intake of good minerals.


The entire plant is packed full of nutrients and healthy properties. So much so that I’d consider dandelion as a detox powerhouse. You can use dandelion leaves, roots and even the flowers for different reasons. Each has health benefits.
It’s possible to eat the leaves, in a salad or as greens. You can make tea from the leaves or the roots, and dandelion wine has been made for centuries. The leaves are also a wonderful addition to a smoothie, or your daily juice.
So, next time you look at the dandelions in your lawn, or your garden, don’t think of them as weeds, think of them as a gift from the earth.

Health Benefits of Dandelion

The dandelion has components that cause the liver to release bile into the gallbladder, helping you to digest fat. It also helps the kidneys by its natural diuretic action. And although it helps the kidneys to release salt and water, it actually replaces potassium lost by increased urine volume.
Also, because dandelion assists the kidneys with elimination of water and salts, it helps to stabilize blood pressure. It helps with weight loss as well. In scientific studies, Taraxacum officinalis(Dandelion) had a positive effect on weight management.

And to top it all off, dandelion has properties that help to purify the skin.

Externally, you can cool the tea and use it on scars and inflammation of the skin. It has been known to cure warts and blisters.

Similar to the effects of burdock, the roots of the dandelion can help the skin get rid of bacteria. It has been used to help with joint inflammation, jaundice, indigestion, eczema, anemia, boils, breast tumors, cirrhosis of the liver, abscesses, hepatitis, constipation, fluid retention and heartburn.
