What Are the Health Benefits of Dandelion Tea?
The common dandelion proliferating in summer lawns was brought to the United States originally from Europe and Asia, and was transported for its health benefits, which have been utilized for centuries. Dandelion is considered a bitter herb, and all parts of the plant are used medicinally in foods and other herbal preparations. A tea may be made by brewing 1 oz. of dandelion root in 1 pint of water for 15 minutes. Roasted dandelion root is the most flavorful.
