Dandelion – to cleanse your liver and toxins
The final seasonal treat is another ‘Pest’ in the garden, the Dandelion. The leaves make a great salad like Ruccola or Rocket. I truly recommend this once you do not spray your garden. Again you could say that it cleanses the liver. The dandelion or Pu Gong Ying is used as one of our herbs to clear heat and toxins. It is anti-viral and anti bacterial. I have known people to use the raw juice of the stem to eliminate warts on the skin. Both the plant and the roots are used medicinally. Whatever you are doing this spring take time to absorb the power of the emerging life. It is the source of regeneration.
