Dandelion can be used to support the health of the liver,
kidney and gall bladder. It is also used as a general tonic with anti-inflammatory
properties.
Dandelion is considered to be a natural diuretic and
digestive aid. Its high mineral content may help prevent iron nutritional status. This
herb also supports normal blood pressure, probably due to its diuretic action. Dandelion
is rich in potassium, which works with sodium to regulate the body's water balance and
normal heart rhythms. The dandelion herb is believed to enhance liver and gallbladder
function and has traditionally been used by herbal healers to treat liver disorders.
