Spring is here and so are the dandelions.
These beautiful yellow flowered herbs are often looked upon as troublesome weeds in our lawns. This plant is an excellent spring tonic, considered by some to be the greatest healing aid for mankind's suffering. Its fresh young leaves can be added to spring salads or lightly steamed like spinach to make an extremely nutritious addition to any meal. Best known as a liver tonic, dandelion root and leaves taken internally increase bile production. Dandelion promotes healthy circulation, strengthens weak arteries, purifies the blood and restores the gastric juices in those who have suffered from severe vomiting.
