Description:
The Dandelion plant is often seen as a weed. However, it has distinct medicinal properties and its action on the liver is particularly prized by herbalists.
What does it do:
Dandelion is an excellent cleansing agent, being one of the most effective detoxifying herbs. It possesses a wide range of active constituents and is also rich in minerals and nutrients. The root of the plant stimulates liver function. This has a primary use in improving digestion as a result of an increase in digestive juices. In addition, Dandelion leaves have diuretic and mild laxative properties.
