Description: 100+ Dandelion Seeds (Taraxacum officinale) Organic, USA grown Harvested 04/2024, No pesticides, Non GMOCommon dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) is a perennial in the sunflower family (Asteraceae). The leaves are used to stimulate the appetite and help digestion. Dandelion flower has antioxidant properties. Dandelion may also help improve the immune system. Herbalists use dandelion root to detoxify the liver and gallbladder, and dandelion leaves to help kidney function. Dandelion is often used in traditional medicine to treat constipation and improve digestive health. One older animal study found a significant increase in the rates of stomach contractions and stomach emptying in rats treated with dandelion extract. Not only can the leaves, roots, and flower add a pop of color to your plate, but they’re also often found in herbal teas and supplements, where they’re used as a natural remedy to support blood sugar management and boost skin, liver, and heart health. The nutritional content of dandelion extends to all parts of the plant. Dandelion is a rich source of fiber and many vitamins and minerals. Dandelions are a rich source of beta carotene and polyphenol compounds, both of which may neutralize harmful free radicals and protect against chronic disease. Limited animal and test-tube research suggests that dandelion has anti-inflammatory properties, though human studies are lacking. Dandelion contains bioactive compounds that have been shown to reduce blood sugar in animal and test-tube studies. However, human research is still needed. Some animal studies indicate that dandelion reduces cholesterol and triglyceride levels, but research in humans is needed. Dandelion may lower blood pressure as a result of its diuretic effect and potassium content. However, very little research is available. Animal studies indicate that dandelion may protect against liver damage, but more research is needed in humans. Some animal studies note that dandelion compounds may support weight control, but no human studies have evaluated this effect. Several test-tube studies have determined that dandelion extract may slow the growth of certain types of cancer. However, research is needed in humans. Dandelion is rich in fiber and prebiotic compounds such as inulin — both of which may support bowel regularity, among other digestive benefits. Although research in humans is lacking, some test-tube studies suggest that dandelion has antiviral and antibacterial properties. Animal and test-tube studies suggest that dandelion may protect against skin damage caused by sun damage, aging, and acne. Further research in humans is needed. Research on dandelion’s effects on bone health is lacking, though some components of the plant are known to support the maintenance of strong bones. Dandelion is likely safe for most people. However, it may cause allergic reactions and interact with certain medications.FREE shipping, NO Tracking.

Many take several weeks, months, and some even up towards a year depending on dormancy, region, season etc. It is important that the buyer understands that seeds are perishable products and seed germination can be adversely affected by such factors as mold/fungus, bugs, temperature, moisture content, light intensity, dormancy, care, contamination of planting media among many other reasons. Germination recommendations are sent with each order and the buyer is free to research and use their own methods. Floating seeds do not always indicate that the seed is not viable. Many times, it is a misconception because the seed does not have the density to sink in water. Accordingly, The Plant Attraction does not guarantee seeds to perform properly regardless of conditions or buyer's methods or soil/water/lighting.
