Dandelion

Weeds from the Taraxacum genus include dandelions. They grow all around the world, including on many people's lawns, and have yellow blooms. According to research on animals, dandelion extracts include chemicals that may aid in digestion by triggering muscular contractions and facilitating the passage of food from the stomach to the small intestine. The dandelion extract was shown in mouse research to help prevent ulcers by reducing stomach acid production and battling inflammation.

As a result, drinking dandelion tea may help with digestion. However, human research is sparse. In a saucepan, mix 2 cups of dandelion blossoms and 4 cups of water to prepare dandelion tea. Bring the mixture to a boil, then remove from the heat and set aside for 5-10 minutes to steep. Before drinking, strain it through a strainer or sieve.
