Dandelion hardly needs description, but for the sake of being consistent, here goes. This is a perennial herb with milky juice. It grows from an often branched taproot up to several feet long. The herb reproduces by seeds and by new shoots from the root crowns. The leaves are clustered at the top of the root crown. They vary in size from 2 to 12 inches long, divided into pairs of lobes, which are either pointed or blunt at the tips. The flower heads (it flowers up to nine months a year) are 1 to 2 inches across, composed of yellow petal-like ray flowers. The flower heads grow solitary. The seeds are attached to parachute-like hairs--and if you haven’t recently enjoyed the thrill of blowing them to the wind, I suggest you take up the sport. After all, they are going to sail away regardless. The common dandelion is a native of Europe. It prefers moist sites.

Cancer aid – Dandelion root has been traditionally used for preventing and treating cancer of most types. As a preventative, incorporate Dandelion root into your daily regime in the form of tea, tincture, capsules or coffee. Triple the dosage if working with active cancer.

Digestive aid – Since dandelion stimulates the gall-bladder, it can also help with chronic gastritis which often results from gall-bladder conditions. One to 1 ½ tsp. of root and leaf tincture in warm water should be taken before meals. The dandelion may be tinctured with other bitter herbs, such as gentian, burdock seed and yellow toadflax.

Diuretic – Dandelion is a non-potassium depleting diuretic (supposedly as effective as Lasix®) useful for treating fluid retention, cystitis, and hepatitis induced ascites (abnormal accumulation of fluid in the stomach). The herb is also applicable in cases of water retention due to heart problems, its action comparable to that of the drug `Frusemide'.

Kidney aid – The usual effect of a drug stimulating the kidney function is a loss of vital potassium from the body, which aggravates any cardio-vascular problem present. With Dandelion, however, we have one of the best natural sources of potassium. It thus makes an ideally balanced diuretic that may be used safely wherever such an action is needed.

Liver aid – is a leading remedy for an ailing liver. It stimulates the flow of bile, a fluid that aids fat digestion, which is why it's used for liver and gallbladder disorders. Dandelion has scientifically documented potent diuretic properties. It relieves constipation and eases bloating and swelling. Dandelion root may also be used in inflammation and congestion of liver and gall-bladder. It is specific in cases of congestive jaundice. Take ½ to 1 tsp. of tinctured root three times a day.

Tonic – Dandelion is one of the most valuable general tonic herbs. It can be taken in large quantities over a long period of time since it has rarely been know to produce toxic effects. As a general tonic for overall health--but specifically the liver, blood and urinary system--take 1 tsp. of tincture of leaves and roots daily.
