racoonThe dandelion is also good as medicine. The leaves and chopped roots can be used as an infusion to treat high blood pressure as well as a great diuretic. Two tablespoons of the chopped leaves taken as tea three times daily is as good as the diuretic (furosemide) that I take on a daily basis. Toss into a vessel of boiling water, take off the heat and let steep for 15-20 minutes. To make a stronger decoction just let the tea reduce to one third the original amount. Fouler tasting but much stronger, works better and can be stored in a bottle and carried with you if you can find a bottle. The roots tend to be bitter too but can be baked in the coals and tamed down considerably. Beware the crown! That's where the leaves are attached. Rank stuff! But with several changes of water is edible. Baked slowly it isn't bad but there is better out there.
