A note about Dandelion Recipes to Obtain its Health Benefits

Herbs are God and nature's gifts to us. While the use of herbs and herb remedies has brought excellent results for many people, do note that their health benefits may be limited when they are used in isolation. However, when combined with some basic dietary and lifestyle good health habits, such as a full body detox and a proper understanding and application of nutrition, the impact on one's health will be greatly magnified.

In natural health and healing, we believe that the body has the ability to heal itself of any disease, even supposedly incurable diseases. We also believe in holistic health and healing, as we realize that different parts of the human body are highly interlinked, often beyond Man’s understanding. It is thus a good idea to apply these fundamental health steps no matter how remote or unrelated a health condition may seem.

There are some very famous preparations of dandelion, which are dandelion root tea, dandelion leaf tea, dandelion flower tea, dandelion wine, dandelion juice, dandelion salad, and dandelion root coffee. These are indeed interesting dandelion uses.
