Including this herb in one's diet has been known to improve eyesight and strengthen the enamel on the teeth. The white, milky juice of the stem can be applied to warts and allowed to dry. If used daily for several days, the wart will dry up. This is also helpful when applied to corns, acne and blisters. The flower petals make a colorful addition to spring salads aside from their more well-known use in wine making.
Dandelion is high in protein and has an incredible nutritional profile.
It is an excellent source of vitamins A, B-complex, C and E and contains an abundance of minerals in impressive amounts. The stems with the flowers are washed and only then is the flowerhead removed and the stems are slowly chewed. They taste somewhat bitter at first, but are crisp and juicy similar to a leaf of endive. Sickly people who feel constantly tired and are without energy should take a 14-day course of treatment with the fresh stems of dandelion. The effect is surprising.
