Modifying Herbs

Dandelion Leaf: The first mention of the Dandelion as a medicine is in the works of Arabian physicians of the tenth and eleventh centuries.

Dandelion Leaf has a taste of BITTER, SWEET and a temperature of COOL.

In Europe, Dandelion is grown commercially and is prized for its medicinal properties. For centuries, Dandelion Root has been regarded as an effective, gentle laxative. The roots and leaves are often used to treat liver conditions such as jaundice and hepatitis and to encourage normal digestion. The flower also contains beneficial compounds. All parts of the plant have high concentrations of vitamin A, as well as choline, a B vitamin that stimulates the liver. Dandelion is commonly recommended by herbalists as a treatment for cancer and other conditions.

Dandelion Leaf has many of the same uses as Dandelion Root. The main use of the leaf has been as a diuretic for fluid build-up and edema; it can also be an aid in high blood pressure where a mild diuretic is called for. Dandelion Leaf is high in potassium, which most diuretics leach from the body.

No serious side effects have been associated with the use of Dandelion Leaf. However, if taken in very large quantities, it may cause a skin rash, diarrhea, heartburn or stomach discomfort. Stop using the herb if these reactions occur, and mention the problem to your health care professional.

Don't take Dandelion Leaf if your doctor has advised you that you have a gallbladder problem, a blockage or inflammation of the bile duct, or an obstruction of the bowel. Don't use Dandelion Leaf during an acute gallstone attack; this requires professional medical treatment.

Because of Dandelion's diuretic effect, women who are pregnant or breast-feeding may want to avoid it.
