Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale)
Everyone's getting excited about dandelion leaf inhibiting the interaction between S*ARS-CO*V-2 sp*ike proteins and AC*E2 receptors! But don't shoot the messenger.๐๐However, you don't have to wait for the research to catch up with the fact this herb is absolutely epic.โฃ Dandelion is a liver support hepatic herbal bitter in nature and used to strengthen and support the liver 's ceaseless job of detoxifying the interior of the body. Dandelion has been loved since Pre-Roman times for its health support. In 2021 studies were completed that proved Dandelion Leaf contains 'suramin' precursors which have identified as mrna spike protein interrupting, this means Dandelion Leaf takes away the ability of the spike protein from entering cells at a faster rate. This is WONDERFUL. I love when there is a weed that has been bullied for many years, rise to the top. We love a good herbal under-dog, thatโs actually a powerhouse.
๐ฑDandelion is such a generous plant with leaves, flowers and roots all used in food and herbal medicine, while also commonly used in teas and tinctures.
The many health benefits of dandelion (because it's more than just a weed!) ๐ผ :
Liver + detoxification ๐ผ Dandelion root has been shown to stimulate bile production, which supports the liverโs detoxification process. It helps the liver โflush outโ estrogen and other steroid hormones and their byproducts so that they are removed from the body normally through excretion (bowel movements).
Hormone balance ๐ผ The main way dandelion can help with hormone balance is through its positive effects on the liver and estrogen detoxification. Bitter greens like dandelion leaf help produce bile to โflushโ out metabolized estrogens. I recommend a minimum of 1 serving/day of bitter greens.
Gut health ๐ผ Dandelion is considered a bitter herb. Bitter herbs help stimulate the production of digestive enzymes, which are important for breaking down food into smaller molecules. Itโs only in the broken-down form that foods can be fully digested and absorbed by the body. Without enough digestive enzymes, your body canโt get the nutrients it needs and the undigested food causes all sorts of digestive distress.
The leaf is less bitter in spring if you want to eat it in salads. However, that bitterness is fantastic for stimulating digestive secretions so you can digest and absorb your food. It is generally a digestive tonic which is whywe add it to our "Gut Well", "Liver Up" and "Purge" herbal tincture formulas! It's a popular one here at The Holistica Shop.
Dandelion Leaf has been found to suppress fat accumulation in the liver.* It contains antioxidants that promote normal lipid profiles and blood sugar. Antioxidants, like those found within dandelion leaf, may be one of the best natural therapies for protecting the liver against oxidative stress.* Dandelion has been proven to protect the Liver from the damage of NSAID use - Like tylenol, advilโฆetc.
These are just some examples of how herbal medicine can be accessible to everyone! โฃDandelions are so abundant, there is no issue of them becoming endangered anytime soon!โฃ It is a herb that most can recognise. You probably played with as child blowing the seeds into the wind. I did this a lot...actually i still do.๐
One of the first things I learned about herbal medicine was how dandelion leaves were diuretic and so could be used to lower blood pressure. โฃHowever, many diuretic medications reduce potassium in the blood causing various side effects. Not so with dandelion leaf- it is naturally rich in potassium!โฃ This was the classic example of how herbs work in perfect synergy with our body!
