Blog Guelph: Return of the Dandelion


Dandelion, originally uploaded by firda.

And finally, did you know that by squirting the white juice of a dandelion on your wart it will eventually disappear? Of course you need a wart for this to work.

But wait - there's more. Herbalist Susun Weed adds these reasons to love dandelions.

"Dandelion (Taraxacum officinalis) is a powerful ally for the menopausal woman who suffers from endless hot flashes. All parts of the herb - leaves, roots, and flowers - can be used to strengthen the liver, aid digestion, and cool off those volcanic flashes. Dandelion also helps promote healthy breasts and clear skin. It's rich in bone-building minerals and contains enormous amounts of cancer-preventing carotenes (14,000 units of pro-vitamin A in 100 grams of leaves)."
