Dandelion – keeping mature skin in top form.
Don’t underestimate the humble dandelion: this common plant is bursting with vitality. Its nourishing powers, sunny disposition and age-old wisdom can have enormous benefits for mature skin.
A little solar power plant.
This flower is a real sun worshipper and always turns towards the light. As a result, every dandelion plant is actively storing warmth and glowing in a sunny yellow “while the rest of nature is still bathing in the cool, damp spring” – as our medicinal herb gardener Joscha Huter so beautifully puts it. What’s more, the dandelion shares its heat generously with all the creatures that use it as a food source.
A nutritious meal for many.
Dandelion is rich in nutrients and delicious. So it’s no wonder that it’s on the menu for many creatures: mice eat its roots, rabbits, deer and birds feast on its leaves, and insects feed from its flower heads. Even we humans enjoy the plant in salads as a source of valuable bitter compounds.
