After everything I’d been told that my body needed to take, to mask the pain, to help me cope; I had finally found something that really helps me. It has been a game changer since the beginning.
Did you know that one of the most powerful plant healers comes from our own backyard? If you don’t feel like growing it you don’t have to, they now supply this at your local grocery store for the green leaf and at your local health food store in both bulk, capsules and tea. With this simple plant based supplement I have been able to manage my endometriosis, knee and joint pain, lose water weight, forget about cramps, reduced my headaches, regulate sugars, flush my kidneys and support my liver functions.
What could this miracle be? Dandelion root! I started taking Dandelion root sometime in April of 2010 and somewhere after a month or so I noticed my chronic knee pain was gone, then the pains I generally felt from my endometriosis were gone as well. I have since made Dandelion root a very crucial part of my day and take a tablespoon in the am and a second one in the pm religiously in my tea.
