Isn't that a Weed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tIt’s hard to believe that the “weed” that many of us try to prevent from making its home on our lawn is such an important medicinal herb.  Dandelion roots are used for digestive disorders because it stimulates the release of bile, which helps the body to digest fats.  It may also help to regulate cholesterol levels.  The release of bile also flushes the gallbladder and liver of processed toxins, making dandelion an excellent liver cleanser.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tDandelion roots and leaves have a bitter taste that stimulates the release of saliva and stomach acid, thus increasing appetite.  Dandelion leaves act as a potassium-sparing diuretic that compares favourably to some prescription diuretics in studies.  Dandelion leaf can be used to treat water retention such as retention that is due to PMS.  Dandelion leaf also flushes fluid through the kidneys and is a good herb for cleansing the urinary tract.  Dandelion has some antimicrobial properties that make it useful for infections like abscesses and boils.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003e\r\n\tDiet \u0026amp; Lifestyle Support for Healthy Liver Function  \u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tLiver supportive foods include artichokes, black radish, beets, carrots, spinach, sauerkraut, tomatoes and watercress.  \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tMake sure that you are getting enough water-soluble fibre in your diet, as found in apples, oats and supplemental inulin.

The liver is affected by anger.  Anger reduction techniques, like biofeedback, or activities, such as yoga, can improve liver functioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tSometimes the liver’s pathways are not working up to speed or become blocked.  The back up of waste material makes it harder for the rest of the body to function normally and ultimately leads to disease.  Since the environment in which we live makes it impossible for us to maintain a pristine lifestyle, regular liver cleansing is essential.  Liver detoxification involves dietary, supplemental and physical interventions.  For more information see the article on detoxification.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n","brand":"Natures Way","offers":[{"title":"100 Vcaps","offer_id":42621957570731,"sku":"10414","price":15.97,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"180 VCaps","offer_id":42621957603499,"sku":"30527","price":25.97,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/4126\/8139\/files\/10414-natures-way-dandelion-root-100-vegetarian-capsules-min.jpg?v=1747088342","url":"https:\/\/www.vitamart.ca\/fr\/products\/natures-way-dandelion-root","provider":"Vitamart.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
