POWER OF PLANTS ISSUE: DANDELION ROOT

POWER OF PLANTS ISSUE: DANDELION ROOT My mom would say dandelions are a major nuisance. She’s a gardener. She watches kids in the schoolyard kick the white fluff that catches the wind and reseeds so successful in her backyard. Now she just laughs when I tell her those “weeds” are the backbone of two of our herbal wellness teas. “You sell people weeds?” Yes mom, I do! Dandelion has traditionally been used to stimulate the function of the liver, kidneys and gallbladder. Dandelion has been used to relieve constipation, indigestion, inflammation and to remove water from the body. Dandelion is also rich in micro-nutrients like potassium, calcium and vitamins A and C. Dandelion leaves are a great bitter to add to salads. Mix with other bitter greens such as arugula and kale to prepare a pre-meal salad that stimulates appetite and digestion. The bitters activate taste buds and stimulate enzyme production and bile flow. This promotes digestion and better absorption of nutrients. The root is the part of the dandelion we use in our teas Cleanse and Digest. As I’m sure you can guess, these are teas for detoxification and digestion support. We've had several people ask us at events recently why we use dandelion root in both blends. Join us: t.me/Natural_Healing Recommended Channels: Click here
