【Benefits of Dandelion】

1. Nourishes the liver and promotes bile secretion

Dandelion is rich in minerals, which not only helps prevent anemia caused by iron deficiency, but also its high potassium content can regulate the water and salt balance in the body, maintain normal heart rate, and prevent liver cirrhosis. It is commonly used for detoxifying the liver, especially the dandelion root, which is a key natural nutrient in the prevention of hepatitis C.

2. Diuretic and anti-inflammatory

Dandelion is a natural diuretic and digestive aid. Dandelion tea is rich in vitamins and minerals, which can strengthen the liver and reduce cholesterol. Dandelion is known as the "bedwetting grass," indicating its strong diuretic effect, making it suitable for people with edema. In addition, it can relieve indigestion and constipation, purify the blood, and promote milk secretion in breastfeeding mothers.

3. Clears heat and detoxifies

Dandelion is very suitable for various heat-toxin related diseases. It has a good effect in clearing liver heat and can treat severe redness and swelling caused by liver heat, as well as various infectious wounds or abscesses. Dandelion leaves have the function of improving eczema, soothing skin inflammation, and relieving joint discomfort, while the root has anti-inflammatory effects and can treat gallstones and rheumatism.

【Taboos for Consuming Dandelion】

1. Allergic reactions

A small number of people may experience allergies after drinking dandelion tea. If small bumps or itching appear on the body, it is a sign of an allergic reaction, and dandelion tea should not be consumed again.

2. Improper dosage

Although dandelion has many health benefits, it is important not to increase the dosage arbitrarily. Excessive consumption of dandelion can cause various gastrointestinal discomforts, such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort, and diarrhea.

3. Not suitable for those with spleen and stomach deficiency-cold

Dandelion has a cold nature, so it should be used with caution by those with spleen and stomach deficiency-cold. It can be combined with warm ingredients such as rose, osmanthus, jujube, and ginger to balance the cold nature when making tea.

The effectiveness of these methods is remarkable but not suitable for everyone's skin type, as everyone's skin is different, and the methods for improvement and care will vary. It is important to seek guidance from professionals based on individual needs.

4. Yin-cold constitution

Most current illnesses are classified as heat-related conditions, so using dandelion for treatment does not usually cause adverse reactions or worsen the condition. However, there are a few cases where the illness is caused by yin-cold, and the body does not show signs of fever. In such cases, if dandelion is used in large doses to treat the illness, the patient may experience decreased appetite, weakened body, and fatigue.
