May help fight inflammation

Dandelion may lower inflammation due to components like polyphenols. Inflammation is the immune system's natural response to damage or infection. Long-term inflammation, on the other hand, may cause lasting harm to your body's tissues and DNA.

In vitro experiments have found that cells treated with dandelion extract had much lower levels of inflammatory markers. One research in mice with inflammatory lung illness found that dandelion significantly reduced lung inflammation. Although human studies are scant, limited animal and test-tube research show that dandelion possesses anti-inflammatory qualities. Further research has revealed that dandelion's anti-inflammatory qualities may aid in the relief of edema and other inflammation-related health concerns.
