Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale)
Dandelions are rebel weeds, growing in cracks in the concrete, coming unbidden to our lawns.
Energetically, dandelion is considered a life-giving plant, supporting relaxed self-expression and actualization. The root is a tonic liver herb, and is associated with the Earth element in Traditional Chinese Medicine. The greens are also deeply nourishing. Rich in vitamins and minerals, they have an alkalinizing effect on the body. These much-maligned weeds are safely diuretic, and contain nutrients that specifically support detoxification pathways via the kidneys and the liver.
Gentle yet powerful, dandelion is a classic ally to an urban lifestyle.
