• Fluid retention
• Liver tonic
Description:
The Dandelion plant is often seen as a weed. However, it has distinct medicinal
properties and its action on the liver is particularly prized by herbalists.
How it works:
Dandelion is an excellent cleansing agent, being one of the most effective
detoxifying herbs. It possesses a wide range of active constituents and is
also rich in minerals and nutrients. The root of the plant stimulates liver
function. This has a primary use in improving digestion as a result of an
increase in digestive juices. In addition, Dandelion leaves have diuretic
and mild laxative properties.
Additional advice:
Those with liver complaints, gallstones or an obstructed bile duct should
first consult a Doctor. Do not take alongside diuretics.
