Dandelion and its extracts have a large number of medicinal functions, but so far, there is not enough scientific evidence of human clinical research to determine whether it is indeed effective. Traditional Chinese medicine generally believes that dandelion can be used for adjuvant treatment of loss of appetite, stomach discomfort, intestinal gas, gallstones, joint pain, muscle aches, eczema and bruises.

In fact, the main effect of dandelion is to increase the production of urine, and as a laxative to increase bowel movements. It can also be used as a skin toner, blood and digestive supplements. Some people have used dandelion to treat infections, especially viral infections and cancer, and some research progress has been made. Dandelion contains very clear chemicals that increase urine production and reduce swelling (inflammation), including dandelion alcohol, dandelion, choline, organic acids, inulin, and other ingredients, such as diuretic and laxative effects.
