Dandelions For Health
Dandelion is a perennial herb found throughout the temperate regions of North America, Europe, and Asia. The dandelion grows to be several inches in height, with a bright yellow flower, thin stem, and jagged leaves. The root, leaves, and stem all contain a milky fluid.
More than one theory exists on the origins of the dandelion’s name. The most generally accepted theory is that the shape of the leaves inspired the French phrase dent de lion, meaning lion’s tooth. This phrase eventually evolved into the word dandelion.
However, some argue that the phrase dent de lion was meant to describe the way the leaves resembled the angular jaw of a lion fully supplied with teeth. Others claim the yellow flowers can be compared to the golden teeth of the heraldic lion. And yet another claim is that the whiteness of the root is the feature which provides the resemblance.
