Known as a “bitter tonic”, Dandelion stimulates digestion and acts as a mild laxative by softening stools, thus aiding in constipation. The bitter taste comes from the mineral sulphur, which is essential for protein synthesis, liver detoxification, enzyme activity, healthy skin, hair and nails. Boil and infuse before use.
Inflammation of the tonsils (Tonsillitis).An early study found that people who had their tonsils removed recovered faster if they ate soup containing dandelion compared to those who ate soup without dandelion.
Preventing urinary tract infections (UTIs).A specific combination of dandelion root taken by mouth seems to help reduce the number of UTIs in women. In this combination, dandelion is used to increase urine flow.
