According to studies, consuming teas made from bitter herbs like Dandelion can promote cholesterol and fat breakdown by stimulating gastric secretions, which help you lose weight (4).

3. Lowering Blood Pressure:

Some people say Dandelion health benefits include lowering blood pressure, though limited evidence supports the claim. The diuretic effects of Dandelion help lower blood pressure by getting rid of excess fluid in the body, as per western medicine.

Dandelion has high amounts of potassium associated with lowering blood pressure in many people (5). However, there is no direct evidence to prove the same.

4. May Help to Lower Cholesterol:

The benefit of eating Dandelions is that they help reduce the risk of heart disease by lowering the cholesterol level in your body. For example, mice treated with Dandelion extracts had dramatically reduced cholesterol and triglyceride levels (6).

Although there are positive results in the animal studies conducted on the effect of Dandelions on lowering cholesterol, more research is needed to prove the same for humans.

5. Reduced the Fasting Blood glucose levels:

The anti-diabetic effects of the Dandelion flower come from the phenolic compounds from the chicoric and chlorogenic acids that help regulate diabetes by acting as nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals (7).

Dandelion for diabetes has the same therapeutic effects, whether from leaves or roots, promoting long-term well-being and health (8). However, there needs to be an investigation regarding the long-term impact of Dandelion consumption.

Dandelion has bioactive compounds phenols, flavonoids, phenolic acids, and triterpenes that have anti-diabetic effects. In addition, the complex carbohydrate present in the root of Dandelion helps normalize blood sugar levels as it contains insulin (9).
