DANDELION
Taraxacum Officinale
March is the month of SPRING EQUINOX, which, in 2017, falls on the 20th of March in the northern hemisphere. There is more natural sunlight, though some chilly or frosty nights might still be waiting around the corner.
After a long, cold and dark winter, you must take very well care of yourself, and one way of doing this is to turn to one of the strongest plants on this beautiful planet, the DANDELION.
Research has shown, there are strong indications for a lot of good, this little friend might do for you.
Being a strong plant, it might cause allergies, so be careful and consult your health care provider before using it, and remember: it carries the name "officinale" for a reason: it is a powerful plant!
Do yourself a favour and order some organic seeds to grow in your garden, in large pots on your balcony, on the terrace or indoors, where there is light coming through the windows.
DANDELION is especially recommended for "window farming" for those of us, who live in the cities, in suburbia or just do not have access to a large plot of safe land.
To kick-start the season, you might dig up a few very young plants, with leaves shorter than five centimetres. Why that measure?
You will soon find out, because beyond that the plant will start forming its super strong tap root, so good luck with the digging, and remember to buy extra shovels, when the first one breaks!
It is NOT advisable to dig up plants near traffic or from polluted grounds; only dig up plants from places, you know to be completely free of any pollutants.
How to use the plant? There are many ways, but the main one is to have access to fresh leaves for your salad every day.
Pick a few leaves from the outer rim as it allows the root to stay strong and new leaves to form. Rinse the leaves, cut them and sprinkle over your salad. Yummy!
And remember: DANDELION comes up in the most unlikely of places, is powerfully resistant to pests and diseases, and is one of the strongest wild plants ever.
When you eat those leaves, you will also become strong.
You will become part of TEAM DANDELION, which is an awesome group of people, who want to be personally responsible for our health in the most natural way, by eating healthy plants.
Go for it, guys, and enjoy! Love you all!
