The  dandelion  , the common name for dandelion, is a plant very widespread in Italy that has been used for centuries in traditional medicine thanks to its incredible properties, which are now almost unknown or underestimated.

Dandelion can also be used in cooking, adding it to dishes and salads.  Dandelion  is rich in vitamins (about twice as many as spinach and tomatoes). It has excellent diuretic properties that promote bile production. It also cleanses the liver, fights allergies and regulates cholesterol levels.

Dandelion is  an  ideal dietary supplement for postmenopausal or pregnant women. It is rich in beta-carotene and a great source of minerals and vitamins.

It helps regulate metabolism and cleanse the stomach and blood. Dandelion flowers can be used to make a beneficial infusion that cleanses the digestive tract, purifies the blood and relieves coughs.

Pick some dandelion plants and dry the leaves. Pour them into a cup of boiling water and let sit for at least 20 minutes. Strain and drink, sweeten only with honey.
