Dandelion: grows everywhere and is a plant rich in therapeutic properties

The dandelion , the common name of the dandelion, is a very common plant in Italy, used for centuries in traditional medicine thanks to its incredible properties that are almost unknown or underestimated today.

It can also be used in the kitchen, and be added to dishes and salads, dandelion has many vitamins (about twice as many as spinach and tomatoes). It has excellent diuretic properties, which promote the production of bile. It also purifies the liver, fights allergies and regulates cholesterol levels.

Dandelion is an ideal dietary supplement for postmenopausal or pregnant women. It is rich in beta-carotene, and is a great source of minerals and vitamins.

It helps regulate metabolism and purify the stomach and blood. Dandelion flowers can be used to prepare an infusion rich in benefits, capable of cleaning the digestive tract, purifying the blood and soothing the cough.

Pick some dandelion plants, and dry the leaves. Pour them into a cup of boiling water and leave to rest for at least 20 minutes. Strain and drink, sweetening only with honey.
