The dandelion, Taraxacum officinale belongs to the Asteraceae and is a very common and very easy to find at the beginning of April without flower and at the end of April, flowered.

The height reaches 70 cm and the extension of the leaves 50 cm.

Much appreciated the root before the flower sprouts. It is used in salads and gives a slightly bitter taste.

Dandelion is used in medicine and its effects on human health have been evaluated.

It has antioxidant properties and is used against dyspepsia, heartburn and liver disorders (1).

Other studies have found its anti-inflammatory properties (2) and protective effects against liver damage caused by alcohol (3).

Another property, already well known for some time, is the diuretic effect that has been successfully tested (4).

Taraxacum officinale (L.), commonly called dandelion, has been used for centuries as a natural medicine to treat inflammatory diseases, including some metabolic changes associated with obesity, and this study confirms its antioxidant properties (5).

Since it is an easily available herb, the temptation of DIY should be avoided because at a certain dosage, as with almost all herbs, it could be toxic.
