Dandelion is a popular food source and medicinal plant. Dandelion greens are high in iron, magnesium, calcium potassium, vitamins A, C and K, as well as other vitamins and minerals, making it a nutritional addition to soups, salads and teas. Medicinally dandelion has been used in Native American, Arabic and Chinese traditional medicine (TCM) for liver, gallbladder and bile duct complaints. In traditional Chinese medicine dandelion is used to clear heat, remove toxicity, rid dampness and remove heat for the liver, lungs and stomach. TCM properties are bitter and cold. Body meridians are the stomach, liver and lungs. The root contains inulin, a substance known to promote healthy bacterial flora in the intestinal tract. Dandelion is a potent antioxidant, containing beta-carotene, to provide protection against cell damage and oxidative stress.
