3. Dandelion Root Extract
Chinese medicine has used dandelion root extract in traditional remedies for thousands of years. The root extract is said to benefit the gallbladder and liver, removing toxins from the organ tissue, as well as improving appetite – an essential benefit for anyone undergoing chemotherapy or radiation treatment.
Studies in rats show that dandelion root extract has cancer-fighting properties, and is helpful in the treatment of various types of cancer, including leukemia, melanoma, pancreatic, and colorectal cancers. While results on animals are promising, science has yet to verify these results on human subjects.
Dandelion root extract is a concentrated source of polyphenol antioxidants. These compounds rid the body of inflammation, and induce “apoptosis,” a biological process where the body removes inefficient and damaged cells from organs in the body.
You can purchase the extract online from your favorite health supply vendor. However, we recommend to make it from fresh dandelions if you have the chance.
