It may seem to many people that dandelion is just a food or plant, some people have eaten it, and some people don't even know that it can be eaten, but it is also a traditional Chinese medicine.
Nowadays, traditional Chinese medicine is relatively popular, especially in anti-tumor, many studies have found that the ingredients in traditional Chinese medicine have an effect on it, dandelion is one of them, it is rumored on the Internet that it can kill 98% of cancer cells, is it true?
01
Dandelion has high medicinal value, and it is a treasure when used correctly
Dandelion, although it rarely appears on people's tables, is a treasure of the same origin of medicine and food in the treasure book of traditional Chinese medicine, with both medicinal and therapeutic effects, and its value is often overlooked.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that dandelion has the miraculous effects of detoxifying, clearing heat and toxin, and eliminating swelling. Not only that, but it can also dissipate stagnant qi, which has a unique effect on a variety of diseases.
When we mash the whole dandelion grass by roots, soak it in water for drinking or add water to apply externally, the damp heat acne will quietly subside. This type of acne is especially favored by people with a thick and greasy red or yellow tongue coating, and the surface of the acne is swollen in the center and red at the edges, and dandelion is their nemesis.
The sterols and egg lutein in dandelion, these two miraculous ingredients, can participate in the body's metabolism and exert a miraculous effect of protecting the liver. In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, dandelion has the effect of removing liver fire and escorting the health of the liver.
Not only that, dandelion is also a nemesis for symptoms such as bad breath, acid reflux, stomach burning, mouth ulcers, and stomach ulcers caused by stomach fire. However, despite the many practical functions of dandelion, it is not a substitute for formal medical treatment.
It can only be used as an auxiliary measure for daily disease prevention and treatment, and when the body is unwell, it is still necessary to go to a regular hospital for medical treatment in time. It is worth noting that dandelion is not suitable for people with weak spleen and stomach.
For ordinary people, if they want to enjoy the benefits of dandelion, they also need to pay attention to washing and high-temperature sterilization (low heat for 10 minutes) to ensure that it is safe and effective.
02
Dandelion can kill 98% of cancer cells in 2 days, is it science or a rumor?
Dandelion has been given a magical color by some rumors in recent years - anti-cancer. One of the most striking is an article titled "Science Finds Dandelion Root Can Kill 98% of Cancer Cells in 48 Hours", which has made many people have high hopes for dandelion.
But what's the truth behind this? In fact, the source of this article is a study from Canada. Regrettably, this article over-interprets the findings.
According to the original authors of the Canadian study, the study is still in clinical trials, and there has been no breakthrough in human trials for dandelion's anti-cancer effects. Therefore, we cannot use it as a treatment for cancer.
In addition, experts remind us that drugs themselves are a double-edged sword. Regardless of whether dandelion really has anti-cancer effects, we still need to be vigilant about its dosage when taking it daily.
In fact, there are indeed some studies in the medical community that have made progress in the direction of dandelion anti-cancer, but these studies only prove that dandelion extract will have a certain effect on tumor cells.
But dandelion extract and dandelion itself are two different things. The content of those so-called effective extracts in dandelion and whether the effect of direct consumption on the human body still needs further research and verification. Therefore, we should look at dandelion rationally and not blindly follow the trend and deify its efficacy.
03
Dandelion does not cure cancer, what is the effect of making tea?
Dandelion, a Chinese herbal medicine widely distributed in China, is known as a green treasure of nature. Its unique taste, bitter and sweet, and cold characteristics make it have multiple effects such as clearing heat and detoxifying, reducing swelling and dissipating knots.
In the busy modern life, a cup of tea made from dandelion is like a clear spring, which can relieve the redness, swelling, heat and pain caused by hot and poisonous evil to a certain extent, such as boils, swelling and poison, eye redness, sore throat, pulmonary carbuncle and other common diseases.
Not only that, dandelion can also return to the liver and stomach meridians, and for patients with liver fever and stomach heat, drinking dandelion water in moderation can also bring significant improvement effects.
However, dandelions, while good, are not suitable for all people. Especially for those who have a weak spleen and stomach, because dandelion is cold, blind use may increase the burden on the spleen and stomach, causing diarrhea and other problems.
Therefore, when enjoying the benefits of dandelion, we should also be rational, understand our physical condition, and avoid unnecessary risks.
For cancer, a serious disease, it is necessary to scientifically detect and standardize treatment. We should not rely too much on one TCM as a lifesaver for cancer.
Such behavior is dangerous and is likely to lead to tragedy. Even if a certain traditional Chinese medicine has anti-cancer effects, it needs to be used under the guidance of a professional physician in accordance with the prescribed dosage and course of treatment.
Therefore, in the face of health problems, we should choose to seek the help of professional doctors, listen to their professional advice, and make the most suitable choice for our condition. Let us cherish life and maintain our health in a scientific and reasonable way.
