3. Fights Inflammation
The fact that dandelion contains certain bioactive compounds such as polyphenols means that it could prove useful when it comes to fighting inflammation.
Although inflammation is a perfectly natural way in which the body tries to address an injury or an illness, it is true that any excessive inflammation can potentially cause long term damage to the tissues of the body and even the DNA of a person.
Whilst animal testing, particularly with mice, has proven beyond doubt that dandelion has powerful anti-inflammatory properties and huge potential in terms of this application, more trials with humans are necessary before it becomes more widely accepted as an acceptable choice of anti-inflammatory to rival those that can be bought over the counter or prescribed by a health care professional. The evidence is starting to stack up regarding just how versatile dandelion can be when it comes to providing invigorating benefits for your health.
