DANDELION
Dandelion is the all-rounder
for and against all ailments.
It even dissolves kidney stones.
Dandelion can be purchased all
year round, but it also grows in the
wild. It is best picked in meadows
along with the roots. It is a natural
stimulant and ideal as a coffee
bean substitute – during wartime
it was also known as “false coffee”.
The roots must first be dried, then
roasted and finally ground. A
teaspoon of the powder is brewed
in a cup of hot water, but not for
too long, otherwise the coffee will
become too bitter. Not only does
the herb coffee make you feel
alert, it also aids digestion and
strengthens the heart.
