If appreciated readers, it is a floral herb called dandelion, it has exceptional benefits for our health.

Below I will detail the benefits, uses and applications of this wonderful plant:

Dandelion is a common floral herb that can grow wildly anywhere. But this herb, with its ephemeral white flowers, harbors an impressive amount of medical benefits.

It has been used as a healer and preventive of diseases for centuries.

Today it is one of the most studied herbs by western medical science.

The following are some reasons to never remove them from your garden (rather, collect them), and, instead of making a wish by flying your flowers in the wind, save it to make a tea.

1. Maintains the proper functioning of the liver. The root of the dandelion is known to prevent liver hemorrhages, but it also improves the purity of the blood and the flow of bile, which is regulated by the liver and plays an important role in it.

2. Combat acne and eczema. If you have a case of acne, drinking dandelion juice as a stimulant, detoxifier, diuretic and antioxidant helps fight the toxins that often result from hormones out of balance. The toxins are ultimately sweaty through the skin and, thanks to the stimulating ability of the juice, the pores are opened to allow the process. The dandelion sap can also be used externally.

3. In addition, since the sap is highly alkaline and has germ fighting properties, it is recommended as an ideal way to handle a variety of dermatological conditions including general itching, eczema and ringworm.

4. It improves the health of the eyes. The American Optometric Association recommends that people consume at least 12 milligrams of lutein and zeaxanthin combined every day to help reduce the risks of cataracts and age-related macular degeneration. Dandelions contain both of these nutrients. In fact, only one cup exceeds the recommendation of the AOA to maintain eye health, as it contains 15 milligrams of lutein and zeaxanthin.

5. Help to lose weight. Consume dandelions is ideal for those who lose a few kilos. Not only are they low in calories, they also act as diuretics, thus causing the weight of water to be discarded through urine in a healthy way.

6. Dandelion is used as an appetite stimulant and to aid in good digestion.

7. Due to the high content of iron in the root of the dandelion, this is very useful to treat anemia since it helps the production of red blood cells in the body.

8. Dandelion is used in some places to treat diabetes since it has been observed to lower blood sugar levels.

9. Dandelion root is also useful as a mildly aggressive laxative and can regulate the functioning of the digestive system if consumed regularly; for this same device it also has benefits in gas control and constipation.

10. Its excellent mixture of vitamins and minerals make the dandelion a source rich in antioxidants and can even serve to control mood. Thanks to its high amount of B vitamins, the root of the dandelion can help control depression.
