The liver cleanses the body of all the poisons that infiltrate it daily, including fat, cholesterol, alcohol, drugs (both pharmaceutical and recreational), artificial colors, flavors and preservatives, airborne pollutants, and poisons in the water and food. The liver is your toxic waste disposal plant. While the liver’s ability to deal with these toxins is extraordinary, once the limits of its function are exceeded, these toxins accumulate in the liver and cause disease. However, the liver has the remarkable ability to restore itself. Diets rich in antioxidants and low in fats and chemical toxicity promote the regeneration of the liver. Vegetable foods that are rich in beta-carotene and vitamins C and E are particularly healing to the liver. Using nutritious herbs to flush out these toxins, before damage occurs, is a vital step to health.

Dandelion root heads the list of excellent foods for the liver. It has been used for centuries to treat jaundice, the yellowing of the skin that occurs as a result of a seriously malfunctioning liver. The leaves are a diuretic, meaning that they help flush excess water from the body. Dandelion is a storehouse of nutrition. It is a natural source of sodium, calcium and potassium. It has some iron, phosphorus, nickel, copper, and zinc. Everyone says how great carrots are for the eyes because they have 1275 units of vitamin A per ounce. However, dandelions have 7,000 units of vitamin A per ounce, besides a lot of the vitamins B, C, E and some G.

The whole dandelion is edible and should be eaten not only as a survival food, but should be used as a tonic food. The leaves should be eaten in spring and fall salads to tone up the body or in green drinks all year around. The root is the part that is used in most herbal preparations.
