    Dandelion

    Dandelion grows wild throughout most of the world and is cultivated in parts of Europe for medical uses. Folk healers have long prescribed dandelion root for the liver and digestive problems. The herb may help the functioning of the liver and be useful for gallstones. Dandelion can also increase transit time through the bowel, so can be used as a gentle remedy for constipation. It helps the body to absorb dietary iron from food or supplements and therefore could be useful for anemia.



    Dandeliion has a diuretic action, so is good for removing toxins from the urinary system and for alleviating water retention. Take up to 1000mg of dandelion daily.
