Dandelion has been considered medicinal in many traditional and natural medicines for centuries. It is said that Native Americans have used dandelion to make tea, which was used to treat kidney disease, swelling, skin problems, heartburn, and upset stomach. Traditional Chinese medicine uses dandelion to treat stomach problems, appendicitis, and breast problems such as inflammation or low milk production. In Europe, it has been used in remedies for fever, boils, eye problems, diabetes, and diarrhea. Who knew that this dainty, yellow flower could heal such a wide variety of ailments?

Dandelion is very well known for its skin care benefits and its ability to improve skin complexion. It does this with excellent detoxification properties, helping to flush toxins from the body and in turn keeping the skin clear. Dandelion is effective for acne and other skin blemishes, eczema, psoriasis, and any forms of skin inflammation. Being a great anti-aging herb, it will brighten and rejuvenate your skin, and make the skin more firm and wrinkle-free. Because the skin is a microcosm of the body in general, dandelion will have similar effects on the skin’s natural functions of breathing, metabolism and excretion.

As you can tell, this herb is fantastic for overall skin health.
