Denis Gibbon | | A few months ago I switched from drinking black tea to Dandelion Root tea. I did this mainly to cut out my intake of caffeine, and also to reduce my sugar intake. Although I always use raw sugar, I was concerned about the high amount I was using with the many cups of tea I drank each day during my several hours of study. I use Dandelion Root Tea in a granular form which contains a fixed amount of sugar, but not nearly as much as I had been using with my tea.
The brand I use is Symington's from the UK.
Anyway, today I learnt that this Dandelion Root Tea had sedative and hypnotic properties. This is something I never knew, but it very probably explains why I have been feeling rather sleepy since I started using it more strongly than before. It's amazing how many different properties herbs have.

Ken Hilving | | Dandelions came to America with the European immigrants, who considered it a staple in their herb gardens. It "escaped" and prospered here, and moved from herb to weed status along the way.
I am looking forward to trying my own. I already use the leaves in salads and on my flat bread pizzas.

Denis Gibbon | | Kenneth.
Unfortunately your link didn't work for me, but the properties of the dandelion leaf are different in some ways from the root. The root is essentially a tonic for the liver and gall bladder, but the leaves are excellent for the kidneys.
Dandelion leaves have a diuretic effect, but because they contain an adequate amount of Potassium, you are not likely to suffer hypokalaemia from the increased output of urine.

Ken Hilving | | I have a tendon issue in my hand, and occasionally double strike. That was the case with the link.
