I was thinking that
Molly Green Magazine was the place I first came across information about the benefits of roasted dandelion root tea about five years ago. And I read up on it some more, and found out that it has been a traditional remedy for those needing extra iron. I will have to find and link to sources later, but I made a list a few years ago about what I had found out about things that are said about roasted dandelion root tea:
fights infection detoxifies improves digestion fights high cholesterol is an anti-inflammatory normalizes blood sugar contains many antioxidants loads of iron and mega amounts of vitamins and minerals. This is all because of the plant's taproot that is able to mine the best things out of the soil. Although I am not a doctor, herbalist, or any kind of medical professional, I can personally attest to
my own noticeably higher
energy levels, healthier and happier blood, and fewer breakouts since I began drinking the tea five years ago.
Note: This info speaks to
roasted DANDELION ROOT tea. Other teas you may see are dandelion
leaf teas, or blended leaf/root teas. They have different benefits, not as much iron, and I can't stand the taste of those...
“Upon the subjects of which I have treated, I have spoken as I have thought. I may be wrong in regard to any or all of them; but, holding it a sound maxim that it is better only sometimes to be right than at all times to be wrong, so soon as I discover my opinions to be erroneous, I shall be ready to renounce them." –Abraham Lincoln
