Liver detox


I've been drinking 2-4 cups of organic toasted dandelion root tea every day for the past few weeks to help cleanse my liver. The tea tastes great. And I feel better. The liver is one of the major organs of our bodies and it does a lot of work in cleaning toxins. Imagine the crap that must pass through the liver (not to mention other organs). One of the effects of a weak liver is itchy skin I think, and I've been itchy man. Sometimes, it can be scary if you aren't even aware of the effects you're experiencing. Dandelion is the green weed that grows around sidewalks, backyards, streets, etc. It has elongated pointy leaves and even produces yellow flowers. When the flowers mature, the seeds look white, cloudy, and cottony and they start to blow with the wind. Amazing how God created His plants. Koreans eat seasoned dandelion as a side dish. Raw dandelion leaves, bought from the grocery store (not picked from backyard!), tastes somewhat bitter. But you can easily eat it raw, added to a salad, sprinkled with a favorite dressing. And dandelion leaves are bursting with nutrients!
