    About this ebook

    How do you heal dry chapped winter skin, add powerful antioxidants to your salad and make your own tea for free?  Pick a dandelion! 

    This little powerhouse plant has been disregarded, overlooked and sprayed as a weed for long enough in our modern society.  We have forgotten the health benefits found for free growing right in our yard or in the field down the street.  Dandelions can be harvested for free and used for tea, soaps, lotions, salves, balms and even baked products.  The Dandelion is a little bit of magic direct from nature that our Grandparents used for everything from swollen joints and inflammation in the body to relieving itchy skin.

    So, pull up a comfy chair and let's discuss dandelions because I have so much amazing information to share with you!

      Harvesting And Using Dandelions - Connie McCauley

      Introduction

      You fight dandelions all weekend, and late Monday afternoon there they are, pert as all get out, in full and gorgeous bloom, pretty as can be, thriving as only dandelions can in the face of adversity. -Hal Borland

      The humble dandelion has poems written about it and children make wishes upon the seed pods. The best part about Dandelions is their magical healing properties which most of humanity is simply unaware of.

      Most people see these special little plants as weeds to be removed from lawns, when in fact they are one of the most important plants for someone to grow from a medicinal perspective. Before doctors took medicine to the modern level it is now, wise women were healing their communities with salves, teas and lotions made from dandelions picked from under fence posts.

      Throughout this book you will learn some of the amazing things the humble dandelion can do to heal our body. Many people also believe the taste of the dandelion flower leans more toward honey, so how bad could it be to create homemade foods that actually taste healthy and are healthy for our body?

      For too long humanity has been relying on medicines made from synthetics and other additives. Many of the medicines on the Rx market do not cure our diseases but in fact create secondary illnesses over time. With over 100,000 people each year dying from pharmaceutical  medicines, isn’t it time humanity considered going back to more natural plant-based extracts for healing and improving our health?

      Most of us have forgotten that for many decades our grandparents and great grandparents were believers in natural medicines and they harvested everything they needed to feel well, directly off the land.

      The problem we are having in our modern society with herbs lies directly with a lack of education. So, if your purpose in reading this book is to find more information about baking dandelion cookies or creating a skin care lotion, I am happy to show you simple recipes that can make a big difference in your lifestyle.

      I can also show you how this plant can be added into all kinds of ingredients to make other things like soap. For anyone who suffers from eczema or frequent skin rashes, were you aware that dandelion soap can soothe itchy sore skin? The soap is also gentle enough to use on baby’s delicate skin, so it’s really worth reading some of the homemade recipes in this book.

      So pull up a comfy chair and let’s discuss dandelions because I have so much amazing information to share with you!

      Botanical Run Down

      Many of the plants once gathered for medicines came from the forests and fields where skilled healers gathered all kinds of botanicals. Dandelions are amazing healing plants that most of us can ingest and also use in other foods like nectars, wines, cakes, skin lotions and salves. 

      Dandelion stands out on its own because the entire plant can be consumed in one way or the other. This plant was literally the late comer in the way of healing and wasn’t added into medicines until the 7th Century by Chinese Herbalists.

      English doctors didn’t know anything about dandelions
