Dandelion tea has the effect of improving sore throat, dysuria (unruly urination), boils and poisons, etc. However, dandelion tea plays a limited role in medicinal efficacy, and can not replace the medication to treat the disease.
Dandelion is bitter, sweet and cold in nature. It has the function of clearing away heat and detoxification, subduing swelling and dispersing knots, diuretic and diaphoretic (to improve the problem of dribbling in urine, and the problem of small amount of urine not being able to pass). It is used for furuncles and poisons, breast carbuncle, scrofula (mainly refers to cervical lymph node tuberculosis), redness of the eyes, sore throat, lung carbuncle, jaundice with dampness-heat, heat drenching (burning and stinging pain is obvious when urinating, accompanied by frequent urination and urgency, and discomfort of pulling in the abdomen) and astringent pain and other conditions.
Although there is no authoritative information on the contraindications of dandelion, but dandelion should not be used in excessive amounts, so as not to lead to slow diarrhea. If you need to take should follow the guidance of the physician.
