(Natural News) There’s a good chance you have an ancient medicine that is capable of fighting cancer in your yard – and it’s also quite possible that you regularly pull it out or mow right over it. Dandelions might look like weeds, but they could actually be the most valuable thing to ever grow in your garden.
This flowering plant, which may have originated in Eurasia, gets its name from the French “dent de lion”, which mean’s lion’s tooth, on account of its jagged, tooth-like leaves. Known for its high vitamin A content, dandelions have long been used to naturally prevent urinary tract infections as they can impede the growth of microbes within the urinary system.
The plant is known for its liver support, and its tea is often used for detoxification. However, it is the root of the plant that has been getting the most attention lately as its extract has been shown to offer anti-cancer effects. So far, it has killed cancer cells for cancers such as melanoma, pancreatic cancer, leukemia, and colon cancer in animals and lab settings. A phase 1 human clinical trial is already underway to explore its use in end-stage blood cancers like lymphoma and leukemia.

Sadly, I haven’t seen a naturally grown dandelion field in over 20 years. ***that’s about the time I moved to Georgia. But really, it’s probably because “no one likes this “weed” and they always kill it whenever they see it.

Yes the root especially is good for us and the flower is great for the bees in the winter. Also did you know sheep sorrel’s root along with other herbs very good for warding off or curing cancer

Surprisingly dandelion can be purchased from “whole foods” USA, apparently. But then “WE” still eat it here, along with “puha” (the same plant family) as well as “pohata”, both considered “weeds”.. Mix those “super greens” together, tastes great.. Funny That.

Not seen the pohata, or rather don’t know, mind you may have seen but don’t know it’s name. And typically yes import it from thousands of miles away, like our fruit when we are well able to grow our own.
