In traditional Chinese and Native American medicine, dandelion root has long been used. Herbalists today believe that it can aid in the treatment of many ailments. Dandelion is most often thought of as a pesky weed that likes to take over our lawns and gardens. Lucky for us, it is also an excellent food and herbal medicine. Dandelion is an extraordinarily rich source of beta-carotene which we convert into vitamin A. This flowering plant is also rich in vitamin C, fiber, potassium, iron, calcium, magnesium, zinc, and phosphorus. It is a good place to get B complex vitamins, trace minerals, organic sodium, and even some vitamin D too. Dandelion also contains protein, more than spinach. It has been eaten for thousands of years as a food and as a medicine. Preparation General: Pour fresh, boiling water (2dl) over 1tsp of Dandelion. Cover and steep for 10 minutes. Bile production: Pour fresh water (2-2,5dl) over one full tsp (1,5g) of Dandelion. Bring it to boil, then set aside. Cover and steep for 5 minutes. Consume for 4-6 weeks at the morning and at the evening one at the time. Keep 1-2 weeks of break before starting again.
