The Downtrodden Dandelion


glorious pancakes, and when steeped in olive oil for 6 weeks, they make a wonderful breast massage oil as pointed out by Susun Weed in her book HEALING WISE. Actually, Susun does an entire chapter on our friend the Dandelion and will present you with knowlege that will delight and amaze you. Another author who takes his Dandelions seriously is Peter Gail, Ph.D..

Whether you actually had an elderly relative who fed you dandelion greens in the spring or not, chances are far better that at SOME time in your life you picked a 'bouquet' of the blossoms, probably for Mom. With sappy stains on your grubby little paws you proudly presented Mother with the flowers you picked yourself (which promptly drooped over that little juice glass she always put them in). Know what? Nobody was ever yelled at for picking Dandelions. What can I say? NOT BAD FOR A WEED.
