5. Dandelions
They’re quite beneficial, especially for your kidneys and liver. The root of the dandelion acts as a natural diuretic, aiding in the cleansing of both organs.
Beyond that, dandelion root has been historically used to address conditions such as jaundice, acne, anemia, and disorders of the kidneys and liver.
Not only does it help prevent urinary tract irritation, but it also offers various other health benefits.
One common way to consume dandelion root is by making a tea from crushed roots—simply let them simmer in water for about 15 minutes, strain, and drink.
Alternatively, dandelion leaves can be eaten either raw or cooked. The best part? During the summer months, you can find dandelions readily available in your backyard, as they tend to grow abundantly.
