2:26 How to eat dandelion greens
In this video, we’re going to talk about a common weed that may help reverse liver damage. This weed may help assist with inflammation of the liver and may even help reverse cirrhosis.
Weeds are actually herbs! This herb was used in Egypt, China, and Rome and has been used for thousands of years. The English folk name for this herb is “piss-a-bed” because it acts as a potent diuretic.
This wild herb has the following incredible potential health benefits:
• Decreases the accumulation of fat on the liver
• Suppresses lipid accumulation
• Decreases glucose levels
• Decreases insulin
• Improves insulin resistance
• Improves HOMA-IR test results
• Increases flow of bile from the liver
• Improves digestion and fat-soluble vitamin absorption
The herb we’re talking about is dandelion! You can eat dandelion greens and flowers to get these amazing health benefits. You can try a dandelion salad or incorporate a few dandelions into your greens mix. Dandelion greens can also be roasted or sautéed.

Thanks Mahdi! Let’s hope Dandelion teas are as good as fresh ones.
Spent a couple hours harvesting a cup of dandelion buds, made “capers”. Fantastic. I’m planning for the upcoming harvest opportunity 👍
Thank you so much🙏🙏🍃🌱
Amazing!! Thank you❤
Milk thistle is what i use for liver heath .
Me too 😊 ironically, I just tapped on this video while I’m making my smoothie cleaning my organic dandelion 😂
👍@@lisah5784
We used to fight over the dandelions in our Easter baskets! 😂 Nowadays, our fat children go crazy over the jelly beans and leave the eggs to rot! It’s pretty sad. Thanks, Dr. Berg! Have a great week, everyone! 🙂
Ive been eating dandelion flowers over the last few weeks here in southeast Texas, also the greens. Roots on the way
Make dandelion jelly yourself and put only eggs in the basket.
My science teacher gave us recipes for dandelions. We got more info about wilderness survival I think than science 😂
That was a blessing especially if your classmates took your science teachers advice.
Surely more important.
Happy Birthday Dr. Berg.
As a beekeeper, I wish that people would stop trying to poison dandelions. Bees love dandelions and the nectar from dandelions produces a light yellow, very delicate flavored honey. Dandelions are an important early nectar source. Even if you don’t eat honey, the bees need nutrition before they can pollinate the fruits and vegetables that come later in the year.
Yes! Stop poisoning anything at all!
Can you list other great flowers and plants for Bees. Would love a beekeepers’ perspective. I have left the dandelions alone. I’ve got salvia growing and a hops vine
Manufactured outrage over a highly medicinal plant. Cant imagine why.. lol. They are such cute flowers too.
Bok Choy is also a (very ) early flowering plant. Would recommend planting the stems of the stuff you buy in a grocery store around the bee hives.
Some people just live to be toxic its deep in the subconscious
It’s a blood purifier as well 🌼
Bitter herbs… God made them a blessing for us, only mankind calls them weeds. 🙏
A weed is an unwanted plant. If you want it then it is no longer a weed.
Same as Cannabis, God gave us that 🪴💨
@@bitcoinbeast my daughter used CBD for cancer, it helped so much with the pain. 🙏
@@cindyhamblin5673 I gave my cat CBD for his cancer, and it stopped the tumor growing, bought him an extra 9 months 🙏
@@bitcoinbeast yes ,i run a testing srvice minimum amount is 50 grams
Doc. You have surpassed all my expectations of any decent human beings. You have become an Angel of mercy! THANK YOU!!
Beautiful and righteous commentary!
Stinging nettle and Dandilion…..Powerful medicine and free !
My favorites !
Chicory also is very very good for liver
I don’t know about that, it was pretty pricey at the vitamin shoppe.
Nettle is also very beneficial for Osteoporosis 🌿
When I was a kid (in France) they were growing everywhere, now I have to buy seeds….it’s sad
My favorite herbs are dandelion, sow thistle, papaver rhoeas and arugula cooked with leeks, garlic, oregano and ginger and tastes so good. Thank you for this video!!❤
I knew this already but I watched just to make sure! I am living testimony to this beautiful plant! As a former “problem drinker” I needed HELP! I found HELP through this priceless knowledge about 4 yrs ago. I would probably not be alive if it weren’t for dandelions. Thank you for sharing Dr. Berg! Hopefully many will benefit from this video.
Me too!!
Good luck and, well done!
Hey- how have you used them and in that quantities to help you???
@@jody2873 When in season I add flowers, stems, and leaves to a smoothie. For out of season, I use dried leaves and roots for tea or a smoothie. Quantity, at least a handful once a day.
Where do you get them? @@debrawright9275
Thanks for this wonderful information, Dr Berg. Dandelions grow like crazy here in the UK and it’s a shame that they are not welcome as most people are constantly pulling them out or killing them. Their leaves and flowers can be used in salads, I enjoy them with other leafy greens such as spinach, lettuce and watercress with a bit of finely diced fresh garlic and homemade salad dressings 🌱🌼🧄
I was diagnosed with Gilbert’s Syndrome (sort of harmless elevation of bilirubin) back in my 20s. That was nearly 40 years ago. Today, my bilirubin is completely normal in addition to all other liver enzymes, which at times were borderline high. My tonic? Roasted dandelion root tea. I’ve been drinking it for decades. I advise everyone to start drinking this tea, Gilbert Syndrome or no.
I also have GS. Please tell more details on your roasting method. Thank you!!!
Same I was diagnosed a year ago and just hit my 30s. Thank you for sharing sir Jeffrey.
How did you prepare it?
Do u buy the packaged tea or make your own by picking dandelions?
Every spring at my Grandparents, fresh leaf lettuce and green onions from the garden, dandelion greens ‘wilted’ with hot bacon grease, lots of salt. Now that was something.
Wilted??? Hideous, sounds nasty. Hillbillies will eat anything. I would be terrified to go to that granny’s home. “Here little one eat this wilted plant. Now try this mold. For desert we have maggots and a dying possum. Grandpa just ran it over for you!” Sounds like Missouri and it gets worse the closer you get to Arkansas.
When I was a child, I thought it was a pretty flower as an adult a annoying weed today a valued herb.
Many people make a tea out of it. Mix it with some lemongrass and natural honey, and you’ve got yourself a tasty, healthy drink.
Eat the flowers and leaves and roast up the roots for dandelion (caffeine free) coffee.
Man you get me excited when i here this stuff come out of someone else’s mouth.
This is stuff we were supposed to be taught by our parent’s. Is not being taught. Thanks Doc for spreading this forgotten….and hope you cover all the other fantastic weeds that grow in your back yard because our ancestors grew these things in there gardens they brought a lot here when they migrated to America. Now they grow wild in our back yards. Thanks farmer Berg keepemcoming
we did eat it back in former yugoslavia (at least in the parts of the country my parents were from). we ate it as a normal salad, but would put one or two boiled potato into it to soften it up. it was great as a salad. having said that, living in (quite polluted) city wasn’t exactly conductive to having it regularly – my dad would only collect it in the early spring.
during the war we learned one interesting lesson: humans can eat everything pigs can it (as far as plants are concerned at least). the problem there is knowing what pigs eat.
Pay close attention also to the indigenous people who were here first. In my area it was the Ojibwa. I’m happy to say our area is supporting a resurrection and honoring and protecting of their wisdom, experience, and culture. I’ve learned much from them about my little spot of earth, the plants and their medicinal properties.
I am from Kashmir Valley. Dandilion is a very loved wild vegetable here which is eaten mostly in dried form. Also the custom in Kashmir is that this vegetable is cooked with mutton and given to the woman after delivering the baby.
