Dandelions

Remember picking dandelions when you were younger? You might want to start again -- not for aesthetic purposes but rather diuretic ones. They are beneficial for your liver, kidneys and gallbladder. And contrary to other diuretic plants, dandelions transfer potassium to your system, so they won't cause a deficit in the essential vitamin. They're also useful in cleansing the blood and limiting water retention that can lead to cellulite. Use the leaves and fresh or dry dandelion roots in your herbal tea to reap the benefits.
