Dandelion And Its Uses

Dandelion is used as an appetite and a bile stimulator. People who have removed their gall bladder should not take it. Used traditionally to treat liver, gallbladder, and spleen ailments, it is also helpful in relieving fullness in the stomach and flatulence. Available in many different forms, from tablets to tinctures, dandelion can also help in correcting hormonal imbalance, water retention and breast problems. The roasted dandelion roots have a similar taste to coffee and is said to be the very best laxative. Some animal studies have suggested that dandelion helps to normalize the blood sugar levels and improve lipid profiles.
