Bonnie, Great article, I agree about detoxing programs that may not only add undo stress to the body, but unless the body is ridding itself of these unleashed toxins, can lead to other issues. Thank you for the seasonal dandelion flower oil recipe and dandelion facts. Happy Spring to you as we enjoy the first signs shooting up out of the earth! Laurie

Bonnie: love this article about dandelion oil. I experienced the hard release of toxins when I did a cleanse from an integrated medicine doctor. But I think detoxing/ cleansing is a good thing. I can’t make your class on Tursday evening but I am interested in making/getting the oil. We do spray our lawn so I don’t think I have a good source for the plant. Any other suggestions? Thanks. Ruth

Bonnie, I may have found another revenue stream for myself: With all the dandelions growing on my property, I could make gallons of detoxifying dandelion oil and become wealthy beyond my wildest dreams. :) Seriously, though – could I use the oil on salads as well as on muscles? Or is that going too far? Thanks for the great idea and explaining why a more aggressive detox can be a bad idea.

Detoxing always seemed like an interesting idea but it’s such a fad I was hesitant to try it. I did do a sugar detox recently and had a day or two of crazy low energy but was very glad afterwards. I can totally see your point that if I had any underlying health issues that could have really set them off in a back direction. I had no idea that the dandelion could also be made into an oil that was so useful. Lucky me the park had loads of them growing and they do not spray anything over there. Thank you for such a helpful tip!

Thanks for this Bonnie! I do find in clinical practice that very often people are taking dandylion because they thing that it’s a good thing to do – and it’s NOT good for their particular circumstances. Dandylion is potentially strong medicine!

Bonnie, luv ur approach. The way u explain things is so easy to accept and understand the basic principles. Ur very down to earth :) The cayenne pepper I do more so in fall/winter for circulation and warmth. Ginger for inflammation ( which is a big problem that many conventional doctors never diagnosis). Lemon I do alot. Not as much of the other two, just as needed but dandelion I have lived on. I’ve never heard it explained like u have and u put ot into a clear perspective. Thanku for ur wisdom.
