Dandelion Root

The dandelion is a perennial plant found almost everywhere though not
occurring in the Southern Hemisphere. Having a leaf the shape of a
lion's tooth, the name is taken from the French "dent-de-lion" meaning
"tooth-of-the-lion". It increases bile production and stimulates its
flow to the gallbladder, where it also causes contractions and the
release of bile from there. The polysaccharide insulin found in this
root is respected for its white blood cell and immuliver,detoxne-boosting
properties.

This root is also higher in beta-carotene (a powerful antioxidant and
precursor to Vitamin A) than what is found in carrots. The leaf of the
plant is a powerful diuretic and a delicious salad green eaten in the
spring. Dandelion is a very nutritive herb with medicinal benefits; it
stimulates the liver and kidneys while absorbing toxins and soothes the
digestive tract while promoting healing.
