The Background
I found them to be highly efficient in ensuring that fast energy straight from the source, not to mention they are amazing for physical & mental cleanse. When combined with right things, such as working out, yoga, meditation etc I can go full days untouchable in terms of outer sources aiming at me.
The Benefits
Dandelion is a blood purifier, and extremely good for aiding digestion, even preventing kidney stones... What I didn't know is, Dandelion greens provide 535% of the daily Vitamin K.
When you think how Vit K is crucial for the strong bones, you clearly connect the dots how we should have ate Dandelions when we were kids, not milk. :D
The greens are high in fiber, fibers basically go though your colon and trim the excess trash that is stuck there. They contain fresh doses of B6, Vitamin C, Iron, Calcium, Potassium, Thiamin & even Riboflavin (also known as B2, crucial for blood flow & healthy skin).
Nutrients you can found in lower dosages range from Magnesium to Copper, Folate & even phosphorus.
A study from 2011, that aimed in realizing the benefits behind the tea of dandelion root, showed how it might eliminate leukemia cell receptors through apotposis. 1
Whereas, another study showed how the root has the potential to defeat cancer, since it halted the growth of melanoma without inducing toxicity in non-cancerous cells – even those cells considered to be drug-resistant. 2
How to consume?
Where I find the most benefits, is picking the greens straight from the source & placing them in my blender. I believe that sooner you consume a green after picking it, more Prana (life-force energy) does it have. So that's a factor I'm always on the lookout for!

Conclusion
I honestly feel everyone should consume as much Dandelion as they potentially can. It can be picked up pretty much everywhere but many tend to ignore it. Why is that so? I guess the mental conditioning we undergone encourages us to eat something artificial rather than picking a superfood green like it. Slowly as humanity is awakening I can see many & many more waking up to the huge benefits greens have to give us our power back. After all, Chlorophyll is one of the highest frequency foods & should never be taken lightly!
