Dandelion

Uses

There’s no compelling scientific evidence supporting the use of dandelion for any health condition.

Side Effects Of Dandelion

The use of this plant in the amounts commonly found in food is generally considered safe. Less is known about the safety of taking it in larger amounts. Some people are allergic; allergic reactions may be more likely in people who are allergic to related plants such as ragweed, chrysanthemums, marigolds, and daisies.

Little is known about whether it’s safe to use in amounts greater than those in foods during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
