Magical weapon: DANDELION ROOT powder

I wanted to share my expierence with this magical, 100% natural-homemade weapon - dandelion root (Taraxacum officinale) powder.

I've been using it for 2 weeks and i feel much more better, full of energy and my skin looks better (less blackheads and skin color is much more healthier) .

In Latvia this incredible plant is an annoying plant/gardening weed but it has a medical use too.

Dandelion is a diuretic plant which means that eating it every single day, you need to count on that there will be an extra need to go to wc - this is the reason why you need to eat it in the morning, not in the evening - i believe you don't want to wake up at night and go to wc every hour :D

Dandelion root is a good replacement for coffee.

Dandelion root contains:

potassium (K) - increases urine production in the kidneys, promotes their excretion, reduces the accumulation of fluid in the tissues, water and salt trapping;
inulin, bitters, flavonoids, saponins, vitamin A in carotene, carotenoids, vitamin group B, C, E; Fe, selenium (Se), iodine (I), Mn;
Zn - Helps maintain provitamin A;
copper (Cu) - Contributes to the absorption of Zn required for eye tissue;
lots of antioxidants, including lutein - are needed for vision, which is the main retina pigment, for visual acuity. (Lutein is also found in marigolds, cornflowers, blueberries, lilies).

What does a dandelion root do?

Contains anti-microbial substances that helps wounds to heal faster.
Reduces cholesterol deposition in the blood vessels.
Stimulates digestion, even if it has constipation, softens the stomach outlet.
The condition of the skin (acne, eczema) improves.

How do I use this dandelion root powder? It's simple:
1 tsp in the morning - after eating it you can drink a glass of water or if you don't like the taste of this powder, mix it with some yoghurt or favorite juice. Those 80 grams are for a month if you take it every single morning.
