Can dried dandelions be soaked in water and drunk? What are the specific effects?

Dandelion is also a common Chinese medicine. Whether it is fresh or dried, it can be used to make tea or eaten as food. The effects are the same, and there are many ways to eat it. But it will not affect the efficacy of dandelion.

Effect 1. Beauty and skin care

Dandelions contain protein, carbohydrates, fat, trace elements and vitamins. Dandelion leaves contain ingredients that can improve eczema and relieve dermatitis, and the flowers also have the effect of removing freckles.

2. Clear away heat and detoxify

Dandelion soaked in water can relieve the symptoms of dry mouth and tongue, and has a good effect on treating heat toxicity, red and swollen eyes, suppurative diseases and clearing liver heat. Make a cup of tea, add dandelions, and enjoy the sweetness and moisture!

3. Antibacterial

Dandelion has an inhibitory effect on Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella typhi. It is a good idea to drink a cup of dandelion tea when you have nothing to do.

4. Nourish the stomach

The laraxacin contained in dandelions is believed to stimulate the digestive organs and promote the secretion of bile by the liver and gallbladder. Increased bile flow can help intestinal peristalsis and is very useful in treating constipation and indigestion. Moreover, unlike laxatives, dandelions can be eaten for several months without causing damage to the spleen and stomach.

5. Protect liver

Modern science has confirmed that dandelion can antagonize the damage to liver cell lysosomes and mitochondria caused by endotoxins, eliminate the toxic effects caused by endotoxins, and therefore protect the liver.

Beijing TV's "I'm a Great Doctor" once reported that soaking dandelion roots in water can remove liver toxins and prevent liver damage, especially alcoholic liver damage. Dandelion is rich in vitamins A and C, minerals and dietary fiber, which can help intestinal peristalsis and improve indigestion and constipation. It is also called "bed-wetting grass" and has a good diuretic effect, which can help the body excrete more toxins and waste.
