Does dandelion have a therapeutic effect on pancreatitis?

Pancreatitis belongs to the category of “abdominal pain” in Chinese medicine, and dandelion does not have the effect of treating pancreatitis. Dandelion is effective in clearing heat and removing toxins (removing heat and toxins from the body), subduing swellings, dispersing lumps, and inducing diuresis and diaphoresis (improving the problem of incomplete urination and low urine output). Dandelion is bitter, sweet and cold in nature. It belongs to the liver and stomach meridians. It is clinically used to treat furuncles (sores occurring on the limbs or face, small in shape with deep roots, as hard as nails), breast canker sores, scrofula (mainly refers to cervical lymph node tuberculosis), eye redness, sore throat, lung canker sores, and intestinal canker sores (carbuncles occurring in the internal organs of the intestines and bowels, manifested by fever, pain in the right side of the abdomen, and palpable lumps). In addition, for the treatment of abdominal pain of intestinal carbuncle, it is often used together with rhubarb, mudanpi and peach kernel for activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis (promoting blood circulation and eliminating blood stasis); for the treatment of lung carbuncle and vomiting of pus, it is often used together with fritillaries, rehmanniae and donggua ren for clearing heat and draining pus. If you have pancreatitis, it is recommended that you seek medical attention in a timely manner and under the guidance of a doctor for scientific treatment. Taking dandelion should follow the doctor’s advice.
