Some might call this beautiful specimen a weed but others are in the know, it packs a punch as an herb.... more to come soon!
Every part of the dandelion has healing properties. On a whole it is
known for its benefits of the liver and kidneys. Dandelions have a high
concentration of vitamins and minerals; both the leaf and root are also
considered a restorative and an adaptogen that helps the body build and
reserve energy.
The root is a powerful liver detoxifier and also
benefits the female reproductive system as it helps to regulate and
balance hormone production.
The leaf is very alkalizing, a great
diuretic and excellent for kidney and urinary issues. It is one of the
best remedies for these issues as it is high in potassium and a rich
source of vitamin A and C, iron and calcium. It is also a mild liver
tonic and great for cleaning the blood and lymphatic system.
Lesser
known benefits include those found in the flowers which can provide
relief of mild pain. The Sap found in the stem is antibacterial and
antifungal. It can be useful on scar tissue and acne and has even helped
to get rid of warts.
And last but not least the seeds are antibacterial for the lungs.
This
is just a brief overview of the benefits of using a holistic dandelion
remedy. I feel that it is more beneficial to your body to use a remedy
that uses all of the parts as nature creates everything in balance. Even
if you only require certain components it is important to note that
your body will much more readily absorb its healing qualities and find
balance more quickly if the remedy is in balance. I also feel that
using the entirety of the plant gives it higher vibrational and
energetic quality.
