For months I’ve been reading posts and articles about Dandelion and it’s health benefits. Here is one example of what I’ve observed over the course of the past (and my first) week of taking dandelion whole plant extract:
I wear a smart watch at times to monitor myself and find trends. My spO2 (oxygen) reading is essentially an average of a range throughout the day. My typical average is 95%. My range has been anywhere from 92-97%.
After a week of taking dandelion whole plant extract my avg is now 97% with my range being 95-99. Never, in the 3 years of wearing the watch, have I seen those numbers. I feel fantastic. While I always leave a caveat that I can’t be 100% sure, the ONlY change is the dandelion.
A word to the wise about making your own dandelion extracts/teas: Don't go digging them up out of your lawn. They are a root, and absorb all the fertilizers and herbicides you put on your lawn. The stuff you buy is from (allegedly) farms that are free from toxins. Allegedly.
What if one doesn't do that to their lawn ?
Are there pets? Possible runoff from neighbor's lawns? How does one protect themselves from these possible contaminants from sourced product? This is a difficult question to answer. I'd be careful.
In south Florida, illegal immigrants collect palmetto berries from wherever they can be found, and sell them to wholesalers. There is absolutely no quality control, and they can be growing in septic fields for all we know.
I’m in Montana so I get them from my son’s house out in the country!
