Dandelion root tea gaining followers on medicinal potential
Dandelion root tea is finding its way onto breakfast tables thanks to numerous health benefits associated with this new beverage. The dark brown root of the common plant produces an earthy and bitter taste, similar to coffee, and is packed with vitamins and minerals. Preliminary research suggests dandelion root tea may help detoxify the liver, improve digestion and act as a diuretic. In vitro studies indicate that dandelion root may have anti-cancer properties and may even be an effective, and above all non-toxic, alternative to chemotherapy in certain patients.
