Dandelion Tea

For the past 5 or 6 months I've been drinking at least two cups of dandelion root tea a day, on and off. When I do remember to drink it and I can drink it for a week without forgetting I see some unbelievable benefits!

For one, my hair has grown much longer than I thought it could! I had my hair cut into a short bob for my 18th birthday, and since then I've been growing it out (I'm now 23) but up until recently my hair has been at just above boob level for around three years. No matter how many times I got it trimmed (which wasn't often), or used special shampoos or home remedy hair masks, nothing worked. When I started drinking dandelion root tea I noticed that all of a sudden my hair was longer than it had ever been! All of  a sudden it was below my boobs, around 4 inches longer than it had been for the past three years! 

I notice that bloating, especially in my face, goes down considerably. I also notice that a lot of cellulite goes away, its a noticeable difference and for me it's enough to be happy about! On top of that my nails are much stronger, my eyes are brighter, my energy has been unlike anything before. Before I started drinking this tea regularly I was always tired, I was always sluggish and I never felt like I got enough sleep. Now I can wake up in the morning and I feel normal again, I feel bright and energetic and I just generally feel very good throughout the day. 

Dandelion root tea has some other amazing benefits that I haven't physically noticed, for example: it purifies the blood and cleanses the system (great for after a night of drinking), it maintains and improves the liver, kidney, pancreas, spleen, stomach, and gall bladder functions, it has antioxidants that help your body fight off toxic bacteria and viruses and also helps with digestion.

This tea also has great benefits for people who suffer from type 1 and 2 diabetes, rheumatism and arthritis, chronic hepatitis and jaundice disorders and it also aids weightlifters in muscle building programs! It almost seems like a miracle tea!

One other thing I really like about this tea is that the taste isn't awful. I've had some detox teas that taste unbearable to the point I couldn't even drink them, and some were okay with a natural sweetener like honey, but I never noticed any differences and I was always left so disappointed. I don't need to add any sweetener to the dandelion root tea, I can easily manage two, even three cups a day. I find it easiest to drink when it's just gone warm or lukewarm. Although some might find it harder to drink than others!

I get my tea in a local health shop for €2.50, which compared to some detox and diet teas is an absolute steal in my book!
