Health Benefits of Dandelion Root:

* Supports liver health by encouraging toxins to leave the body and cleansing the bloodstream.

* As a diuretic, dandelion gently encourages the body to rid itself of excess water. As such, it can support the function of the kidneys, liver, and gallbladder as it removes toxins from the system. By doing this, it can reduce the symptoms of bloating that many women suffer during menstruation. This can also help to lower blood pressure when it is caused by water retention.

* Help with weight loss by aiding the liver to break down waste products and flush them out of the system. In this way, it can also be beneficial for those with cellulite.

* As a digestive aid, the benefits of dandelion are evident in improved digestion and reduction of gas build-up as well as reduction in heartburn. Dandelion can calm any inflammation of the digestive system to ensure it functions well.

* Aid with anemia by keeping the blood stream clear of toxins and encouraging the well being of the organs.

Dandelion tea is an easy way to administer this herb. Many people will use it as a substitute for coffee, as it has a robust flavor but does not have the caffeine. Its slightly bitter taste can take a while to get used to, but can be sweetened with honey if needed. Tea made from the dandelion root has this bitter taste, while dandelion leaf tea is much lighter. Dandelion is often blended with other herbs which have a similar effect.

Excess acid in the stomach may react with dandelion and cause some stomach pain. It is generally safe to use with prescription medications. Rare dandelion side effects also include diarrhea. Anybody who has an allergy to chamomile or iodine should avoid using this herb, and anybody being treated for a gallbladder infection should not take dandelion herb.
