Dandelion and ginger reduce inflammation

In life, many people like to drink dandelion tea, because dandelion tea has the effect of clearing away fire and heat, and in summer, dandelions grow in many mountains, which are convenient to pick and have no cost. Some people also like to make tea with dandelions and ginger, and the tea brewed in this way can also be applied to wounds for anti-inflammatory purposes. So, is the anti-inflammatory effect of dandelion ginger good?

In recent years, with the popularity of the Pueraria lobata series of anti-inflammatory drugs made with dandelion as the main ingredient, many people believed that the dandelion ingredient had an anti-inflammatory effect, so they began to dig and buy wild dandelions for consumption.

"Although some components of dandelion have anti-inflammatory effects, they are not as magical as everyone says. For example, the medicines that contain dandelion anti-inflammatory ingredients that you can buy now actually work best when used in conjunction with other medicines."

Citizens can eat it occasionally in spring to reduce liver fire and have an anti-inflammatory effect, but be careful that people with stomach problems or cold stomach should eat it with caution, because the ingredients contained in dandelion will aggravate the cold stomach condition. If you want to eat it, you should pair it with ginger. Dandelion and ginger can be boiled together to achieve the effects of dispelling cold, clearing heat and relieving inflammation. If your eyes are inflamed, you can dip gauze in dandelion juice and gently apply it to your eyes for a better anti-inflammatory effect.

How to eat wild dandelions?

The first and simplest way is to eat it raw. Choose fresh dandelions and mainly eat their tender stems and leaves. After picking them, wash the stems and leaves and eat them directly. Or you can also make a cold dandelion salad with oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and eat it according to your personal preference.

The second is to use dandelions as fillings. Wash and chop the freshly picked dandelion stems and leaves, add seasonings, and mix them into fillings. You can also add meat and mix them into fillings. Then you can make dumplings, buns, etc. for consumption. It can be paired with leeks, which will make it taste better and more nutritious. Be careful not to consume too much at one time, generally 100 to 150 grams is enough.
