DANDELION LEAF
Folk medicine claims the dandelion plant is a powerful healer, used to purify the blood, address digestion-related problems, and prevent piles and gallstones, among other maladies. Traditional herbal medicine practices use dandelion for their diuretic effect used to rid the body of excess fluid, which can lead to lowered blood pressure.
Dandelion leaf is super high in vitamin K, which is an important for strengthening bones, but it also gives the body a healthy dose of vitamin A as an antioxidant carotenoid, which is particularly good for the skin, mucous membranes and vision.

These greens also contain vitamins C and B6, thiamin, riboflavin, calcium, iron (crucial for generating red blood cells), potassium (to help regulate heart rate and blood pressure), magnesium and manganese. Other nutrients present in dandelion greens include folate, phosphorus and copper.
