Magical weapon: DANDELION ROOT powder
I wanted to share my expierence with this magical, 100% natural-homemade weapon - dandelion root (Taraxacum officinale) powder.
I've been using it for 2 weeks and i feel much more better, full of energy and my skin looks better (less blackheads and skin color is much more healthier) .
In Latvia this incredible plant is an annoying plant/gardening weed but it has a medical use too.
Dandelion is a diuretic plant which means that eating it every single day, you need to count on that there will be an extra need to go to wc - this is the reason why you need to eat it in the morning, not in the evening - i believe you don't want to wake up at night and go to wc every hour :D
Dandelion root is a good replacement for coffee.
Dandelion root contains:
- potassium (K) - increases urine production in the kidneys, promotes their excretion, reduces the accumulation of fluid in the tissues, water and salt trapping;
- inulin, bitters, flavonoids, saponins, vitamin A in carotene, carotenoids, vitamin group B, C, E; Fe, selenium (Se), iodine (I), Mn;
- Zn - Helps maintain provitamin A;
- copper (Cu) - Contributes to the absorption of Zn required for eye tissue;
- lots of antioxidants, including lutein - are needed for vision, which is the main retina pigment, for visual acuity. (Lutein is also found in marigolds, cornflowers, blueberries, lilies).
What does a dandelion root do?

How do I use this dandelion root powder? It's simple:
1 tsp in the morning - after eating it you can drink a glass of water or if you don't like the taste of this powder, mix it with some yoghurt or favorite juice. Those 80 grams are for a month if you take it every single morning.
