0This Weed Is A Nutritional Wonder And Amazing Herbal Remedy For Joint Pain And Inflammation
The common dandelion is a nutritional powerhouse and an effective home remedy for helping ease joint pain and inflammation.
To some, dandelions are just annoying weeds. Ask anyone who fights weeds in their lawn – dandelions are excellent at adapting and spreading via the beautiful seed heads that blow off in the wind. These plants have provided hours of pleasure for many children, who enjoy picking the heads and blowing the seeds.
The plant is a hardy perennial that features a thick, long taproot which has been used in traditional herbal medicine for centuries. Native Americans would use the dandelion root as a remedy to treat kidney disease, skin problems, and digestive issues.
Scientific research has confirmed that dandelion can be an effective diuretic. In one study, published in the “Journal of Complementary and Alternative Medicine” in 2009, a test group consumed dandelion extract for 24 hours and their urine output was measured. The studies found that dandelion consumption led to a marked increase in urine output, compared to measured output for the prior two days.
Increasing urine production can assist your body in getting rid of excess fluid, reducing elevated blood pressure, and in resolving liver issues.
Other traditional uses for dandelion in herbal medicine include:
- cleansing for the blood
- improves stomach function
- boosts metabolism
- increases breast milk
- helps reduce cholesterol
