Dandelion tea is high in vitamin A and vitamin C, both of which boost the immune system and encourages healthy cell growth. It also helps our eyesight and reduces the signs of premature aging. Dandelions are also brightened with vitamin K which helps bone health and is essential to blood clotting.
Dandelion is much more than just a weed growing in the yard. In fact, it has been cultivated for its culinary and medicinal benefits for centuries, and modern science has even begun corroborating some of the claims traditionally made about dandelion.
Dandelion is very common in North America and most people can recognize it on sight. It’s a hardy plant, growing easily in low-sunlight areas where others struggle. The flowers, leaf, and root of dandelion can all be used to make dandelion tea. In parts of Europe and Asia, it’s known as a folk remedy for:
- Urinary Tract Infections
- Inflammation
- Detoxing the Body
- The Common Cold
