Next, I will introduce to you the method and precautions of soaking fresh dandelions in water!

1. How to brew fresh dandelion

If it is fresh dandelion roots, you can usually just wash them, add water and boil them to drink. Drinking it like this on a regular basis can have the effect of clearing away heat and promoting diuresis. You can also dry the dandelion roots and then soak them in water. The specific method is as follows:

1. Wash the dandelion roots and cut them into small pieces about 5 mm in size. Then place it in an oven and dry it at 200-300℃.

2. Steam it in a steamer for 15 minutes and let it cool down naturally after taking it out. Then use a crusher to crush the particles to less than 3 mm.

3. Put it in a wok and fry at 500-1000℃ until the color turns to light brown. Take it out and cool to room temperature before packaging.

Characteristics of this method: The parts of dandelion used for making tea are leaves and roots. The preparation method is simple, the product pursues naturalness (no additives), and it is rich in nutrition.

Brewing method:

(1) Leaves: Brew one tea leaf with one cup of boiling water. Soak two spoons of dandelion in hot water for 10-15 minutes and then drink it.

(2) Leaves and roots: 2 teaspoons of the mixture, brewed into a cup of boiling water. (3) Roots: Crush the roots first, then brew with 500cc of water. Simmer for about 30 minutes, filter out the residue and add honey.

2. Pay attention to the dosage when drinking dandelion water

In order to obtain better and faster results, many people like to increase the dosage of dandelion on their own initiative. In fact, this is very unscientific. If you take dandelions in large quantities, it can easily lead to various gastrointestinal discomforts, such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, etc.

This is mainly because after taking large doses of dandelion, the renal tubules in the body become narrower, and the liver cells and epithelial cells of the renal tubules become slightly turbid and swollen, which leads to various diseases in the body.

3. People with allergies should use dandelions with caution

Dandelion is not suitable for everyone, because a small number of people will experience allergies after drinking dandelion tea. For example, if you develop hives or itching all over your body after taking dandelion water or dandelion wine, these are allergic reactions. In addition, some people developed pale or cyanotic complexion after receiving intravenous infusion of dandelion injection. You may even experience chills, which are allergies. You must stop taking the medication immediately and go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment.
