Taraxacum or Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), is a flowering herbaceous, perennial plant of the Asteraceae family, which grows in the temperate regions of the world and is considered a weed.
The fresh leaves of the plant, as an excellent appetizer due to the bitter substances they contain, improve the function of digestion and stimulate the appetite. They are eaten in salads and are rich in iron, vitamins and carotenoids which play a vital role in reducing cell damage. The root, stems and flowers of the plant are used to make teas.
Dandelion is considered one of the best herbs for improving the entire immune system, detoxifying the liver and gallbladder, and keeping the kidneys functioning well. Also, there are reports that its consumption reduces cholesterol, improves the functioning of the glands and contributes positively to the metabolism and the maintenance of a normal body weight.
It is generally considered safe, but if you are allergic, especially to chamomile, marigold or iodine, avoid using it.
To make a decoction add a teaspoon of dried herb to a mug of boiling water and let the herb work for 15 minutes. You can consume up to 3 cups daily before meals.

Herbs are and should be treated as medicines. We recommend that you always consult your doctor before using them.
