Though a weed, but it has magical healing powers. You are probably aware of the existence of this week, which with its soft and mild herbal action can detox your body and be equally effective in the management of various healthy-related problems. If the low cost was not its sole benefit, it is know as being extremely safe, to the extent that even pregnant women could use for the iron content (not for detoxing) – perhaps you know what we are talking about – it is dandelion! The incredible number of essential nutrients which dandelion contains make it at par with any multivitamin and mineral supplement which you use for taking care of the whole body.
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. It is normal for health aficionados to opt for the leaves to make a healthy salad.
Dandelion helps in detox of the liver and restores hormonal imbalance. This is simply because of the hormone metabolizing action by the liver. A healthy liver can help you to handle all symptoms of menopause, menstrual cycle irregularity as well as PMS.
Dandelion is a diuretic so it leads to weight loss. 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 improvement of bile production by the gall bladder, it also helps in regularizing bowel movement. You could take it for a couple of months to take better care of your liver and gall bladder but you must reduce taking it slowly. This weed provokes many natural actions and secretions of the digestive system like it does with indigestion. It coaches your digestive organs to function properly again, without much effort from your side. Dandelion is especially recommended for people who face problems in digesting fat, as their bile production is not up to the mark.
In case you wish to detox with dandelion, using it is prohibited if you have allergy to it or currently suffering from inflammation of the gall bladder, intestinal blockage or obstruction in the bile duct. The usual recommended dose for adults is 250 to 500 mg three times a day with meals. Before you begin taking any supplement, consult your doctor. To keep healthy, we can really depend on nature.
