What is a dandelion?

Dandelion is a plant with yellow flowers. Taraxacum officinale is the most common variety of this plant, and it grows in many parts of the world.

Botanists consider dandelions to be herbs. People use the leaves, stem, flower, and root of the dandelion for medicinal and general health purposes.

The potential benefits of dandelion include:
1. Providing antioxidants
2. Reducing cholesterol
3. Regulating blood sugar
4. Reducing inflammation
5. Lowering blood pressure
6. Aiding weight loss
7. Reducing cancer risk
8. Boosting the immune system
9. Aiding digestion
10. Keeping skin healthy

So not just a pesky weed, then!

Nature makes it abundant for a very good reason!
