Dandelion: # 2
The poor maligned dandelion, the pest everyone wants out of their lawn, comes from the asteraceae family. "Forgive them for they know not what they do." From flower to root the lovely dandelion has all the nutrition needed to maintain the body in great health. Used for everything from tea to salad the entire plant brings vibrance and good health to your body. The greens of the dandelion are packed with chlorophyll, calcium, iron and vitamin a, just to mention a few of its benefits. A survival food extraordinaire!
This beautiful yellow flowering plant offers a medicine chest full of remedies from mild laxative, diuretic, and liver protection to anti-inflammatory and sedative qualities.
