Dandelion Root may be used to drive out “bad sodium” deposits (from excess consumption of regular sodium salt) from the body and gently re-establish the proper active and necessary sodium balance, for the stomach, joints and in the blood stream. This cleansing yellow flowered plant while gentle is a most effective blood and liver cleaner as well as blood nutrient. Dandelion is a valuable deposit for your blood bank account. Dandelion, contrary to certain interests, is public friend #1, and if it is growing in your lawn, you probably need it.
