5 Amazing Health Benefits of Dandelion Tea

When you think of a dandelion, a bright yellow weed or a white flower that you blow into the wind might come to mind. Many may not know that you can eat dandelions and that they can provide you with many amazing health benefits. Typically, dandelions are ingested in the form of a tea, rather than just eating the weed itself.

Here are 5 health benefits of dandelion tea:

  1. It detoxifies your liver
    Detoxifying your liver is important because it can help keep you healthy and help fight off chronic illness. Dandelion tea can provide this detoxification by removing toxins, chemicals, and other impurities.
  2. It strengthens bones
    Dandelions are packed with vitamins and minerals including calcium, iron, zinc, and magnesium. All of these promote healthy, strong bones. Drinking dandelion tea regularly can also keep your bones dense, and help prevent osteoporosis.
  3. It promotes blood circulation
    Dandelions are full of iron which helps promote blood circulation as well as helps transport oxygen out of your lungs and carry it throughout the rest of your body. Dandelions are also packed with vitamin K which can help fight blood clots.
  4. It can help with digestion
    Dandelion tea is known to stimulate digestion as well as speed it up which can help with cramping, bloating, constipation, hemorrhoids, and diarrhea. Because of this, dandelion tea can also help with weight loss.
  5. It fights inflammation
    Dandelion tea is full of vitamin A which works as a powerful antioxidant to fight off inflammation and free radicals in the body. Vitamin A also keeps your skin nice and calm, reducing swelling or puffiness.
