  Historical and Traditional Perspective

Spotlight on Dandelion - also known as - Lion's tooth,wild endive,blowball, puffball, wet the bed and cankerwort.

A well known weed growing wild all over the world in gardens, pastures and meadows. The root grows down quite deep and if broken off at ground level will ever continue to regrow.
Dandelion is a nutritious  healing herb with a medicinal reputation dating back more than 1000 years.
Dandelion has a long tradition of being used as a liver and gall bladder tonic and diuretic (removing excess water from the body),
with excellent benefits for fluid retention.
During the Middle Ages, Europeans believed in the Doctrine of Signatures - the idea that a plants' physical characteristics reveal their medicinal value. Under this doctrine anything yellow was linked to the livers yellow bile and was considered a liver remedy.
Dandelion has a juicy root, stem and leaves and this explained its used to treat water retention.
The fresh leaves can be used as a salad vegetable and have a slightly bitter sharpness somewhat like rocket.
