Dandelions are unfortunately often seen as weeds, but nothing could be further from the truth. Therefore, think twice before using the weedkiller on these beautiful yellow flowers in the verge. The dandelion is helpful in solving all kinds of health problems, and it’s also very nutritious.

Whether you eat them in a salad, use the flower in a smoothie, make tea from them or do something else special with them…

Your health will be more than grateful to you if you consume these beautiful yellow dandelions. The health benefits of the dandelion are greater than you might think. Dandelion helps with liver and bladder problems, acne, diabetes and many other common ailments.

The only problem? People prefer to trample the flower, or use herbicide to remove them from their garden. We say: leave that yellow flower and give it a chance in the medicine cabinet (or on the table), as the benefits are obvious!

It’s nature’s first aid kit. The use of dandelions to heal and to feed the body from within, make it a plant that you should definitely not kill this summer.

There are even scientific studies that suggest that the flower may have a psychological advantage. As well as the flower, there’s very good reason that the root of the dandelion is also incredibly precious.

Here are 6 of the most important health benefits of the dandelion:

Stronger Bones

Dandelions are rich in calcium, which is the most important nutrient for the growth of strong and healthy bones. They also contain many antioxidants, such as Lanolin and Vitamin C, which protect against loss of bone density and weakening of strength in the bones.

Drinking milk for strong bones may work, but it can’t hurt to add a dandelion every now and then. It is cheap, natural and very healthy!

Healthy Liver

One of the most important advantages of the dandelion is how incredibly healthy it is for the recovery of the liver. Not only does the flower and root cleanse the liver, but it can also help balance the liver system.

A scientific study on mice indicated that this medicinal plant has the ability to slow down the process that causes liver damage or scars.

Diabetes

Dandelions help strengthen the production of the body’s own insulin, which regulates blood sugar. It also stimulates urination, which removes waste products from the body faster. But what is the connection with diabetes?

By removing sugars and salts from the body faster, it reduces the build-up of sugar in the body. As a result, the kidneys are freed from sugar build-up, which reduces the side effects of diabetes.

Kidney Detoxes

As we mentioned above, dandelions are great at stimulating the kidneys. Any form of toxic build-up in the kidneys disappears like snow before the sun.

The plant is also antibacterial, which reduces the risk of infections in the kidneys. Say goodbye to those nasty kidney infections.

Better Skin

Dandelion plants not only detox the kidneys, but the effects travel throughout the body. The skin also benefits, reducing the risk of inflammation, acne and eczema. The dandelion cleans the blood, giving you a beautiful healthy glow to your skin.

A Healthy Metabolism

The high dose of iron, B vitamins and protein in the dandelions give the flower a miracle status. It is the perfect addition to a salad, precisely because it is such a source of healthy nutrients.

Consumption also helps reduce blood-related problems, such as high blood pressure. In addition, it removes excess salt from the body. Finally, the dandelion lowers our cholesterol, which is of course a nice bonus, as many people have too high a cholesterol level.
