Dandelion Leaf

Dandelion Leaf

Summary:

Although it’s often dismissed as little more than a stubborn lawn weed, dandelion has been used in many forms of traditional medicine for centuries.

While Taraxacum officinale is the most common type, many other dandelion species exist.

Not only can the leaves, roots, and flower add a pop of color to your plate, but they’re also often found in herbal teas and supplements, where they’re used as a natural remedy to support blood sugar management and boost skin, liver, and heart health.(Healthline)
