Dandelion is considered a weed by most but this little plant has some amazing benefits. It grows in my garden amongst our lawn which annoys some as they see it as a weed. The flower and leaves can be added to salads and stir fry. The root can be roasted and used to make tea just like the leaves and the flowers for an aromatic tea. Dandelion is a diuretic meaning it is ideal for excreting sodium & water from the body.
Dandelion root is a great liver cleanser, the leaves are great for cleansing the kidneys.
