Taraxacum officinale
Dandelion is a wonderful medicine, used for centuries as an alterative and blood purifier.  Now, more commonly used as a Liver remedy and to remove heat and dampness within the tissues. 
Dandelion increases secretion of bile, which both stimulites movment of the fluids and restores function of the Gallbladder, at the same time, it works on the kidneys to excrete unwanted fluids, and retain fluids of importance. 

A true Spring Detox herb, of great value. 
 
The emotional resonnance which Taraxacum lends us, is that of releasing that which no longer serves us. He helps us to process what is happening at times of stress and overwhelm, connects us to our hearts, and says 'you are more than this which has been weighing you down, you have limitless petential, connect to your heart, do the self work you need to do, and lets get a move on!'
