Spring cleaning

[Guest guest]

Hi Folks - Dandelion tea or soup used to be the favored method for spring

body cleaning in the olden days of English yore (still is for many French

and Dutch). Dandelion coffee, procurable in health food stores, also works

or you can use fresh dandelion leaves in salads.

 

Dandelion is a diuretic superior to most synthetic diuretics produced by

pharmaceutical companies, according to " Culpeper's Color Herbal " edited by

David Potternton (1983). It opens and cleanses the urinary tract (leaves)

and liver (roots) and it helps relieve insomnia caused by fevers. Its

diuretic effect is further helpful with relieving rheumatism and eczema.
