Somebody's weed is another person's healing herb. It is difficult to imagine that you have not yet heard of this weed which can mildly detox your body and can be a powerful agent for the management of several disease conditions. This weed is so safe that it could also be used during pregnancy (for the iron in it and not for detoxing) and it is also not at all expensive - welcome dandelion.

Dandelion can be used as a nourishment provider for the whole body similar to the reason why you consume vitamin and mineral supplements because of the plethora of important vitamins and minerals that it contains. You could rely on its nutritive power if you go through the list of vitamins and minerals it contains: vitamins A, C and K, Choline, B-complex, iron, silicon, magnesium, manganese, potassium, sodium, phosphorus and copper. Healthy and fit eaters would go for the leaves and make salads.

By using it to detox the liver with dandelion you can balance your hormones. This is due to the hormone metabolizing capacity of the liver. A healthy liver can help you to handle all symptoms of menopause, menstrual cycle irregularity as well as PMS.

Dandelion is known for its strong diuretic action and this causes loss of weight. It doesn't necessarily deal with the underlying cause of weight gain in this case, but it helps and does it without depleting your body of vital potassium.

If weight gain is due to issues related to improper digestion, then dandelion could handle the problem. It helps in bowel movement with the ability of enhancing bile production from the gall bladder. You could take it for a couple of months to take better care of your liver and gall bladder but you must reduce taking it slowly. Prompting many natural actions and working up many secretions of the digestive system are also activities of the weed, just as in indigestion. It retrains your digestive organs without you having to go through much effort. Dandelion is a special help for people who are incapable of digesting fat due to lack of bile.

Do not use dandelion to detox if you are allergic to it nor if you have gallbladder inflammation, intestinal blockage, or bile duct obstruction. 250 to 500 mg thrice a day with meals is the suggested dose for adults. Physician advice is recommended before use. Thank nature for its bounty and for the gift of health.
