Dandelion's effects on kidneys

Dandelion is a commonly used Chinese medicinal material. Medically, it is generally believed that it can be used as both medicine and food. It has significant effects in treating many diseases, including kidney disease. However, due to the comprehensive nature of kidney disease, dandelion can only have general effects such as diuresis, and the effect is relatively slow. Subsequent treatment or serious conditions still require a combination of Chinese and Western medicine to achieve the best therapeutic effect.

1. Can dandelion cure kidney disease?

Nephrotic syndrome is generally a comprehensive disease of the kidneys, often accompanied by edema, hypertension and other clinical manifestations. Dandelion can be used as a medicine in traditional Chinese medicine. Drinking it in water has no effect on kidney metabolism and can have a diuretic effect, so it can be consumed in moderation.

The most effective way to treat kidney disease is to use a combination of Chinese and Western medicine. Western medicine can promptly control the inflammatory reactions that often occur in patients clinically, but it cannot completely clear the root causes of the inflammatory reactions, such as the various toxic substances in the kidneys. Although Chinese medicine is effective in treating kidney disease, the effect is relatively slow.

2. The efficacy and function of dandelion

Dandelion itself is both medicine and food, it is non-toxic, and can relieve many inflammations: upper respiratory tract infection, conjunctivitis, mumps, hyperglycemia, mastitis, gastritis, dysentery, hepatitis, cholecystitis, acute appendicitis, urinary tract infection, pelvic inflammatory disease, carbuncle, furuncle, pharyngitis, treat acute mastitis, lymphadenitis, scrofula, furuncle, acute conjunctivitis, cold and fever, acute tonsillitis, acute bronchitis, and urinary tract infection. Its function is to clear away heat and detoxify.

3. Be careful when using dandelions

However, it has the bias of traditional Chinese medicine, and its nature is cold. Therefore, if you have a yang deficiency constitution or a cold spleen and stomach, you should not drink it as tea alone. It will only aggravate your condition and will not benefit you. Many Chinese medicines in traditional Chinese medicine are not poisonous themselves, but have biased nature and taste. If what you take happens to be opposite to the cold or hot state of your body, it is poison.
