Dandelion: The Whole Plant

From centralized dependence to decentralized independence — maximizing your freedom in all 19 areas of life.

For education only. Not medical advice. Don't stop or change any prescribed treatment without talking to your health practitioner. Seek emergency care for emergencies.

Every part of the dandelion is food: young leaves for salad, flowers for fritters and tea, roasted roots as a coffee-like drink. The leaves are rich in vitamins A, C and K, calcium and iron, and the root contains inulin, a prebiotic fiber.

You may have seen posts claiming dandelion root "kills 96% of leukemia cells in 48 hours." That comes from laboratory research at the University of Windsor (Ovadje, Pandey et al., 2011) on cells in a dish. It's a promising research lead, not a treatment, and it has not been shown to treat cancer in people.
