The 7 Amazing Benefits of Dandelion

Perhaps every one of us spent part of our childhood blowing dandelion seeds into the wind and making garlands from the beautiful flower. Nowadays we either try to clear it from our garden or gladly grow it so that we can include it in our diet. 

Every part of the flower is medicinal.

So whether you are brewing tea or making a salad, an abundance of health benefits comes from the plant.

#Dandelion supports detoxification

If you have ever included the plant from our childhood in your diet, it was to support your body's natural detoxification processes.

The flowers contain powerful antioxidants, such as beta-carotene and polyphenols, which are known to prevent ageing and some diseases. 

Dandelion is also a rich source of the fibre inulin, which according to research reduces constipation and increases bowel movements - supporting this vital elimination pathway for removing waste from the digestive tract.

#Dandelion stimulates the immune system

We are all trying to improve and maintain our immune system all year round, especially in the current state of the world.

Dandelion extract is a powerful weapon for this purpose, thanks to its antimicrobial and antiviral properties. 

Many research studies have shown that compounds from the flower, root, stem and leaves reduce the ability of the virus to multiply and form a healthy barrier against harmful bacteria. Every opportunity to “feed” our immunity is a victory for us.

#Dandelion supports weight loss

Dandelion, especially tea or a tincture of its roots, has been used in weight-loss programmes for years. 

This is partly because of its ability to promote detoxification and increase movement through the lower part of the digestive tract, but also because of the potassium contained in the plant. It acts as a diuretic, increasing the need to urinate - another natural pathway for cleansing. For people who struggle with water retention and bloating on their way to losing weight, this simple addition to their daily routine is a true gift of nature.

#Dandelion - an arsenal of vital micronutrients

This flower, despite some people's mistaken belief that dandelions are weeds, is an exceptional nutritional powerhouse. 

The different parts of the plant contain different compounds, especially micronutrients vital for everyday functioning. They are rich in the fat-soluble vitamins A, C and K, and also contain vitamin E, folic acid and small amounts of other B vitamins. As a plant they provide a significant amount of minerals, including iron, calcium, magnesium and potassium. These micronutrients perform a wide range of functions in the human body, but all of them are needed overall to maintain our health.

#Dandelion has an anti-inflammatory action 

The beautiful yellow flowers are also known for their anti-inflammatory properties. Their compounds deal with diseases before they begin to manifest in our bodies. The plant includes potential bioactive components such as sesquiterpene lactones, taraxasterol, taraxerol, chlorogenic acid and CRA. These components are non-toxic and can be used for their potential anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antirheumatic and choleretic properties. 

Dandelion leaves are the most powerful source of these health benefits.

#Dandelion activates the processes of liver function

In recent years we have been discovering how vital our liver is to thriving health. 

With constant dieting and other factors related to our lifestyle, such as excessive alcohol consumption and smoking, this detoxifying organ becomes overloaded. 

Tea or a concentrated herbal extract of dandelion helps cleanse the liver and improve the flow of bile. Some studies have shown that dandelion root reduced the degree of permanent liver damage.

#Dandelion contributes to healthy, glowing skin

We have never met anyone who does not want radiant, vibrant skin. After research into various foods that support our largest external organ, it turns out that dandelion is another powerful food for the skin. 

Studies show that dandelion root extract may stimulate cell growth and generation, which is believed to slow down the ageing process. As an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent, it has also been praised for fighting acne, eczema and other skin conditions - all while increasing hydration and collagen production.

This charming flower is not only the familiar herb from our childhood , but an exceptional helper for our health.
