Can dried dandelion be used as tea?
Dandelion is dried by itself. What is the difference between the medicinal properties of fresh dandelion and dried dandelion? Can dandelion be drunk for a long time? I'm Xiaoling, the pharmacist. Let me make it clear in this article:

What does dandelion do? Dandelion, a traditional Chinese medicine, has been used since the Tang Dynasty, and its origin is New Materia Medica. At that time, its name was Viola yedoensis, which was different from modern Viola yedoensis.

Dandelion is a kind of medicine for clearing away heat and toxic materials, which is mainly used to treat sores and carbuncles, both inside and outside carbuncle. Explain to everyone what boils mean.

Sore and carbuncle is a disease term in traditional Chinese medicine, which is similar to ulcer in modern medicine. Dandelion has been widely used for sore and carbuncle diseases since ancient times, especially for treating breast carbuncle. In recent years, dandelion has also been used as a medicine for clearing heat and purging exterior, including treating colds, especially wind-heat colds, and is often used as a medicine for dispersing wind-heat. In addition, it is also used to treat lung heat syndrome, stomach heat syndrome and liver heat syndrome.

However, it should be noted that too much dandelion (more than 30 grams) has laxative side effects, especially fresh dandelion. Therefore, it is suggested that dandelion be dried before use.

Can dandelion be drunk for a long time? First of all, we need to find out why we should drink dandelion for a long time. There is a folk saying that drinking dandelion can cure nodular diseases, but judging from the efficacy of dandelion, it has no effect of dispersing nodules. Clinicians do have dandelion compatibility in the treatment of nodular diseases, and most of them have the effect of clearing heat, purging fire and detoxifying, which has an auxiliary treatment effect on nodules. It is inseparable from TCM syndrome differentiation and drug compatibility, so it is certain that long-term drinking dandelion can not eliminate nodules, but only plays a certain auxiliary role. In the process of drinking, be careful whether there are side effects of diarrhea.

Does dandelion hurt your stomach if you drink it for a long time? Although dandelion is a powder for clearing heat and relaxing bowels, it is not easy to hurt the stomach. In some areas, dandelion is even eaten as a wild vegetable. For people who are prone to constipation, you can often drink dandelion, and the daily amount is controlled at around10g.
