I believe everyone is familiar with dandelion. As the weather gets warmer, many dandelions will grow on the roadside in the field. Don't underestimate this little dandelion. As a plant recorded in ancient medical books, it has the reputation of "Queen of Hundred Herbs". Moreover, with the improvement of people's health awareness, many people like to soak dandelion in water to drink, saying that it can strengthen the body. How much do you know about the efficacy of dandelion?
Dandelion is often soaked in water to drink, which shows five major effects.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that dandelion tastes bitter and cold, but it enters the liver and stomach meridians. People who eat regularly will find that you have five advantages:

Dandelion has a very good effect of clearing away heat and toxic materials. Proper consumption has a very good therapeutic effect on acute inflammation such as cold, tonsillitis and bronchitis. It is suitable for people who often smoke and drink and get angry, so as to clear away heat and toxic substances and expel toxic substances from their bodies.
Diuretic, prevention and treatment of urinary tract infection
Dandelion is rich in minerals and also contains a certain amount of folic acid. In addition, fresh dandelion contains about 80% water. Therefore, dandelion soaked in water will have obvious diuretic effect, plus dandelion's anti-inflammatory effect, which is suitable for patients with urinary tract infection.

At the same time, due to the diuretic effect of dandelion, it is beneficial for the kidney to eliminate toxins, contribute to kidney health and prevent liver and kidney diseases. People who often stay up late, drink alcohol and suffer from chronic hepatitis. You can try drinking more at ordinary times.
