While a dandilion-filled yard may bring neighbors offering to spray Round-up on your lawn, a look at the health benefits of dandelions gives a new reason to keep some of these herbs around.
Dandilion contains vitamins, including A, B complex, C, and D. The leaves can increase appetite, settle stomachs, and act as a diuretic. Yet, as always, check with your health care provider, especially if other medications or physical symptoms are present.
