D . . . . . Dandelion

Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale):

Dandelion contains much that is beneficial to our bodies: bitter compounds, choline, inulin, large quantities of minerals such as calcium, sodium, silicic acid, sulfur and, in the fresh leaves, a high content of potassium.

• It can help stimulate the appetite and promote digestion.
• Dandelion can promote bile production in the liver and its secretion from the liver.
• Dandelion root is a "blood purifier" that helps both the kidneys and the liver to improve elimination.
• It helps clear up many eczema-like skin problems because of this.
• The root has also been successfully used to treat liver diseases such as jaundice and cirrhosis along with dyspepsia and gallbladder problems.
• Its use as a diuretic is favourable because it replaces the potassium that most diuretics remove. It's the herb of choice for treating rheumatism, gout and heart disease as well as regulating hormonal imbalances.
• Fresh latex removes warts if applied several times daily.
• The Chinese have prescribed it since ancient times to treat colds, bronchitis, pneumonia, hepatitis, boils, ulcers, obesity, dental problems, itching, and internal injuries.
