Dandelions were used by ancient Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, and Chinese to purify the blood and for digestive issues. Dandelion greens are amazing for a gentle cleansing and reducing KAPHA in the system during the transition from winter to spring.
The Spring thaw brings moisture to the external environment and to our internal environment resulting in excess kapha which manifests as respiratory discomfort, bloating, and lethargy.
The diuretic dandelion greens will flush excess fluid and metabolic wastes from your system. (Bonus the greens will calm pitta by clearing excess heat and toxins from the liver and blood)
