While it might be a weed to some, it is one of the most sought after healing herbs for many. Chances are that you have heard of this weed and that the herb can be an effective remedy for several health conditions including acting as a detox for the body. It is not only low in price but its high safety reputation makes it safe even during pregnancy (though only for iron content and not for detoxing) - we are talking about dandelion. Dandelion has so many vitamins and minerals that you could use it to nourish your body the same way you use a multi-vitamin/mineral supplement. It contains several essential vitamins and nutrients like vitamins A, C and K, Choline, B-complex, iron, silicon, magnesium, manganese, potassium, sodium, phosphorus and copper. Normally health-conscious eaters make salads with the leaves. Dandelion helps in detox of the liver and restores hormonal imbalance. This is simply because of the hormone metabolizing action by the liver. If you ensure that your liver is functioning optimally, you can be sure to handle menopausal symptoms along with several other gynecological problems like irregular menstruation and PMS. Dandelion has pronounced diuretic properties which helps in losing those extra pounds. Its mode of action does not have anything to do with the intrinsic reason for weight gain, but it can help in effective weight loss without exhausting the critical potassium level of the body. If weight gain is due to issues related to improper digestion, then dandelion could handle the problem. With the capacity to improve bile production from the gall bladder, it helps in making bowel movement easier. In case this is the purpose for your use, take it for a couple of months for regularizing the functioning of your gall bladder and liver, but remember to slow down its usage with time. The expected action from this weed include activation of several natural actions and secretions of the digestive system like it does with indigestion. You need not put in any effort but it restores and re-strengthens your digestive organs. Dandelion is especially recommended for people who face problems in digesting fat, as their bile production is not up to the mark. There are certain conditions which warn you against using dandelion to detox, and they include allergy to the ingredient or inflammation of the gall bladder, intestinal blockage or obstruction in the bile duct. The dosage pattern to be followed by adults is as follows: 250 to 500 mg thrice a day with meals. Before you begin taking any supplement, consult your doctor.
