Dandelion

Description

While many people think of the Dandelion as a pesky weed, it is chock full of vitamins A, B, C, and D, as well as minerals, such as iron, potassium, and zinc. Dandelion leaves are used to add flavor to salads, sandwiches, and teas. The roots are used in some coffee substitutes, and the flowers are used to make wines.

In the past, Dandelion roots and leaves were used to treat liver problems. Native Americans also boiled dandelion in water and took it to treat kidney disease, swelling, skin problems, heartburn, and upset stomach.

In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), Dandelion has been used to treat stomach problems, appendicitis, and breast problems, such as inflammation or lack of milk flow.

In Europe, Dandelion was used in remedies for fever, boils, eye problems, diabetes, and diarrhea.
