Dandelions, often considered backyard weeds, have remarkable properties that can significantly benefit liver health. Used for centuries in various cultures, dandelions help combat liver issues like fatty liver, fibrosis, and cirrhosis. They possess diuretic properties that aid in reducing fat accumulation in the liver, lowering triglycerides, cholesterol, and glucose levels, while improving insulin resistance. Additionally, dandelions promote bile flow from the liver, reducing the risk of gallstones and enhancing digestion and nutrient absorption.
