Summary

In this podcast, we’re going to talk about a common weed that may help reverse liver damage. This weed may help assist with inflammation of the liver and may even help reverse cirrhosis.


Weeds are actually herbs! This herb was used in Egypt, China, and Rome and has been used for thousands of years. The English folk name for this herb is “piss-a-bed” because it acts as a potent diuretic.


This wild herb has the following incredible potential health benefits:

• Decreases the accumulation of fat on the liver

• Suppresses lipid accumulation

• Decreases glucose levels

• Decreases insulin

• Improves insulin resistance

• Improves HOMA-IR test results

• Increases flow of bile from the liver

• Improves digestion and fat-soluble vitamin absorption


The herb we’re talking about is dandelion! You can eat dandelion greens and flowers to get these amazing health benefits. You can try a dandelion salad or incorporate a few dandelions into your greens mix. Dandelion greens can also be roasted or sautéed.
