Dandelions can be used for many things, including tea! In my experience the flowers are best in spring. One of the benefits of dandelion tea is that it works as a diuretic on the kidneys, by improving the way the kidneys clean the blood and recycles nutrients (without leaching potassium!) This results in overall improved health and clearer skin. Dandelions are also good for the bladder, intestines, pancreas, spleen, and stomach. more info:
