Dandelion root is a plant that is often regarded as a weed but one that may offer health benefits. It is said to have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties. Dandelion root benefits are often promoted by naturopaths and other alternative practitioners who contend that dandelion acts as a diuretic (“water pill”) or potentially boosts the immune system to help fight infections. Its benefits are touted in arthritis, liver disease, diabetes, obesity, and even cancer.
