You know them well, those little yellow weeds that seem to take over your yard in the summer. Well, you may just find a new appreciation for them after reading this post on Dandelion Tea.
Dandelion tea is what I call my Magic Tea – it has so many benefits. It can:
- reduce bloat,
- detoxify your liver (which aids in weight loss and overall health),
- reverse jaundice, hepatitis and fatty liver,
- cleanse kidneys,
- dissolve gallbladder stones,
- reduce bad cholesterol,
- aid with digestive problems, and
- clear skin problems.
There are three different varieties: Dandelion Leaf, Dandelion Root, and Roasted. The one that I find tastes the best and is the most effective is Organic Dandelion Root. I haven’t found loose Dandelion Root as of yet, but you can find it in health food and drugstores.
Why I call it my Magic Tea
You know those extra pounds and bloat you seem to gain before menstruation, in the afternoon, or after a workout? Those are from water retention. This amazing tea is a gentle diuretic. It allows you to drop the water weight, but does not dehydrate. I drink it every afternoon or about an hour after a workout. It has no caffeine so will not disturb your sleep if you choose to drink it in the evening.
After a workout most people look bigger; for some this is the desired goal but for me it is not. When your muscles tear, they retain water. Dandelion tea allows the water retained in muscle tissue to be released.
Along with reducing bloat, this tea can greatly help with digestive problems. It can alleviate diarrhea, constipation, gas and indigestion. When I have one of these problems and drink some Dandelion tea, the problem is gone within an hour.
Often, struggling to lose weight, skin problems, and many other health problems can be caused by a sluggish liver. I always believe treating the cause instead of the symptom is best. Dandelion tea is a natural and effective way to cleanse and detoxify your liver.
Definitely a wonderful tea to try!
