DANDELION TEA?

Lindsays Grandma — Mon, 23 Dec 2019 22:54:07 GMT

I came upon an article about Dandelion Tea and the great benefits it has, sure got my attention. Anyone here familiar with it? If so I would love to hear from you, have you noticed a difference after drinking it and how does it taste? I'm for anything that will help keep me healthy.

Don't know about long term health benefits, but it is excellent for irritable bowel. I have used it for years.

@Reever ...I don't have to worry about that anymore, my gallbladder went south in 2009.

@Lindsays Grandma —My doctor told me about dandelion tea years ago. It's great for gut issues, and when mixed with uva ursi is great to ward off bladder infections. (A friend trying to lose weight drinks it daily and swears by it, but that’s probably because dandelion is a diuretic so it’s helping her lose water weight really quickly!) The taste is fine to my taste buds, although I usually put another different tea bag in with it to make it even more tasty.

This article about it is good. Dandelion can react with Cipro, diuretics & lithium. Some people are allergic to it. Right now it’s being studied for its effect on cancers and on digestive ailments. https://www.healthline.com/health/ways-dandelion-tea-could-be-good-for-your#digestive-ailments

I love Dandelion greens in my salad, and have the tea in my cabinet right now - it's not bad at all, mild and soothing, I add a bit of honey - so yea anything honey is added to - tastes yummy

Who knew that the dandelion weeds growing my yard were healthy!

I can just go out, and pick them, and toss them in my salad!

Best part, they're FREE!!!!!

I don't know if any of it is true but if you Google it, it seems to do everything except cure ingrown toenails. I've seen the capsules in the vitamin and supplements aisles. Even if it does none of the stuff "the internet" says it does, it's probably an excellent antioxidant.

Thank you!
