Amazing. Now we know why monsanto went after the dandelions:

"Just one leaf of this herb, found in every garden, can save your life in a minute, but only some people know how to use it!

It kills up to 96% of leukemia cells in just 48 hours!

Nature itself has many effective health remedies. You may not know the presence of many effective plants, but in fact, they are located right in your garden.

When it comes to leukemia, many of us are the first to equip ourselves with medication, chemotherapy, poor quality of life and overall misery.

Here’s all the info you need to know about the roots (and leaves) of a dandelion and what it can do for people battling leukemia.

Recent studies have shown that the dandelion root is cytotoxic against three types of human leukemia cells and it destroys up to 96% of cells in just 48 hours!

Dandelion tea affects cancer cells by breaking down within 48 hours and stimulating the growth of new healthy cells in the patient's body.

The study was conducted by Dr. Hamm with his students.

They removed blood cells from 9 different patients who used root extract and applied it to several cells to cultivate them. Within 24 hours, the cells were killed.

There have also been a number of other studies to find that dandelion extract can have potentially effective substances against cancer, melanomas and prostate and breast cancer.

Other properties of dandelion root/leaves...

Dandelion root/leaf extract has been used for centuries as an effective healing agent in traditional folk medicine.

Anemia...

Dandelions have a fairly high content of iron, vitamins and proteins. While iron is a part of hemoglobin in the blood, vitamins like vitamin B and proteins are important for the formation of red blood cells and some other blood components. A dandelion can help with anemia.

Strong bones...

Dandelion is rich in calcium, which is essential for bone growth and strength, and is rich in antioxidants such as vitamin C and luteolin, which protect bones from age-related damage.

Diabetes ...

Dandelion juice can help diabetics by stimulating the production of insulin from the pancreas.

Prevents urinary tract infection...

Dandelion can help prevent urinary tract infections, as well as bladder and kidney disorders, or even cysts on the reproductive organs.

Cleanses the liver ...

Vitamins and nutrients contained in the dandelion help to clean the liver and ensure their proper function. Dandelions help our digestive system by maintaining proper bile flow. Dandelion is also rich in vitamin C, reduces inflammation and prevents disease.

Digestion Assistance...

Dandelion acts as a mild food that promotes digestion, encourages appetite and balances natural and beneficial bacteria in the intestines.

Skin care . . .

Dandelion juice is also used to treat skin diseases caused by microbial and fungal infections. The juice is highly alkaline and has insecticidal, bactericidal and fungicidal effects.

This juice can be used for itching, shingles, eczema, etc."

In the realm of gardening, there's a particular herb that stands out: borage. This adaptable plant, boasting vibrant blue flowers and a taste reminiscent of cucumbers, brings numerous advantages to both your garden and your personal well-being. Let's explore the wonders of borage and why it merits a place in your green sanctuary.
Borage, scientifically termed Borago officinalis, is an annual herb native to the Mediterranean but now cultivated worldwide. Its distinctive star-shaped blue blooms and fuzzy leaves not only enhance the visual appeal of any garden but also serve practical purposes beyond aesthetics.
One of borage's most appealing traits is its unique flavor. Its leaves and flowers offer a subtle hint of cucumber, making them a refreshing addition to salads, drinks, and desserts. Borage leaves can also garnish dishes or be steeped to create a calming tea. With its adaptable taste and diverse applications, borage is a must-have for culinary enthusiasts.
In addition to its culinary charm, borage boasts a rich history of medicinal use. Packed with essential fatty acids, notably gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), borage oil extracted from its seeds is a popular natural remedy for inflammation, skin issues, and hormonal imbalances. Borage tea is also believed to possess soothing properties, promoting relaxation and overall well-being.
Furthermore, borage contributes significantly to garden ecosystems. Its bright blue flowers are beloved by pollinators like bees and butterflies, making it an excellent choice for attracting beneficial insects. Moreover, borage enriches soil quality by accumulating vital nutrients such as potassium and calcium. Its deep roots aid in soil aeration and drainage, benefiting neighboring plants.
Cultivating borage is relatively straightforward, even for novice gardeners. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, though it can tolerate partial shade and various soil types. Seeds can be sown directly into the ground in spring or started indoors a few weeks earlier. Once established, borage requires minimal upkeep and readily self-seeds, ensuring a continuous supply of foliage and blooms.
In summary, borage is a remarkable herb deserving of recognition in every garden. Whether for its culinary appeal, medicinal benefits, or garden enhancements, the allure of this versatile plant is undeniable. By incorporating borage into your garden, you not only enhance its beauty and biodiversity but also nourish your body and spirit. So, why delay? Plant some borage seeds today and witness the enchantment unfold in your garden!
