タンポポは科学的に Taraxacumofficinale と呼ばれています。彼らはあなたの裏庭で目立つ迷惑な雑草だけではありません。伝統医学では、これらは薬効のために使用されていたことが知られていました。
動物実験では、タンポポが糖尿病の治療に役立つ可能性があることが示されています(1)。より多くの研究が、炎症や癌との闘いを含む、タンポポの健康上の利点の可能性に光を当てています。
ここでは、この花があなたの健康と幸福を促進するのに役立つ可能性のあるさまざまな方法を探ります。
タンポポの潜在的な健康上の利点は何ですか?
タンポポに含まれる生理活性化合物は、炎症や癌との闘いに役立つ可能性があります。それらはまた血糖値を下げるのを助けるかもしれません。カルシウムとビタミンKの含有量は骨を強化することができますが、鉄の含有量は貧血の予防に役立つ可能性があります。
1.炎症と戦うのに役立つかもしれません
タンポポ化合物で処理された細胞は、炎症のレベルが低いことがわかりました。タンポポの多糖類は、この点で有望な役割を果たす抗炎症作用と抗酸化作用を持っています(2)。
タンポポは、通常、体の炎症に関与する化合物である炎症誘発性サイトカインの産生を減らすことによって機能します(3)。
肺の炎症を起こしたマウスを対象とした別の研究では、タンポポ(Taraxacum mongolicum、中国で栽培)の導入により状態が改善されることがわかりました(4)。
2.がんのリスクを減らす可能性があります
タンポポの根(およびレモングラスの抽出物)について行われた研究では、タンポポが抗ガンの可能性があることがわかりました。根はアポトーシス(癌細胞死)を誘発し、化学療法の効果を高めることがわかった。この研究は、前立腺癌細胞で実施されました(5)。
タンポポの根の抽出物は、無毒で効果的な抗がん剤の代替品となる可能性があります。それは、結腸直腸癌モデルにおいて癌細胞のプログラム細胞死を引き起こすことができた。根の抽出物の分子の複雑さ(創薬に関与する特定のパラメーター)が、この抗がん活性の原因である可能性があります(6)。
タンポポの根の抽出物は、肝臓がんを予防することもわかっています(7)。同様の効果が膵臓癌でも観察されました(8)。
これらの発見は有望ですが、タンポポが人間の癌を予防および治療する方法を理解し、確立するために、より多くの研究が必要です。
3.糖尿病治療を支援する可能性があります
タンポポのチコール酸とクロロゲン酸は、糖尿病を調節するための抗糖尿病栄養補助食品および医薬品として大きな可能性を秘めています。酸には、花の抗糖尿病効果を促進する可能性のあるフェノール化合物が含まれています(1)。
ある研究では、タンポポの葉と根の両方が糖尿病患者に対して同様の治療効果を持っていることがわかりました。これらは、患者の長期的な健康と幸福を促進する可能性があります(9)。ただし、タンポポ消費の長期的な影響を調査する必要があります。
抗糖尿病効果を提供するタンポポの他の生物活性化合物には、フェノール、フラボノイド、フェノール酸、およびトリテルペンが含まれます。タンポポの根には、複雑な炭水化物を含むイヌリンが含まれています。これらは血糖値を正常化するのに役立ちます(1)。
4.心臓の健康を促進する可能性があります
タンポポ抽出物で治療されたマウスは、トリグリセリドとコレステロールのレベルの劇的な減少を示しました。抽出物を添加した高脂肪食をマウスに与えると、肝臓の脂質蓄積が減少しました(10)。
ウサギの研究でも同様の所見が観察されました。高脂肪食を与えられたウサギでは、タンポポの根の導入は抗酸化状態を改善し、血清コレステロール値を下げました。根は酸化ストレスにも対抗し、心臓の健康を促進する可能性があります(11)。
タンポポはまた、血圧レベルを下げることによって心臓の健康を促進する可能性があります。植物にはカリウムが含まれています(12)。研究によると、定期的な食事中のカリウムは血圧レベルを下げるのに役立ちます(13)。
5.減量に役立つ可能性があります
タンポポは、膵臓のリパーゼを阻害することによって機能する人気のある減量薬(オルリスタット)と同様の効果があることがわかりました。膵臓リパーゼは、消化中に放出される酵素で、脂肪の分解を助けます。この酵素を阻害すると、脂肪が体内に吸収される方法が変わり、体重減少に役立つ可能性があります(14)。しかし、人間におけるタンポポの抗肥満効果を解明するには、さらなる研究が必要です。
タンポポは苦いハーブです。研究によると、苦いハーブは、食べる前にお茶として摂取すると、胃液分泌を刺激し、コレステロールと脂肪の分解を促進する可能性があります。このように、彼らはあなたの減量の努力を補完するかもしれません(15)。
6.骨の健康を促進する可能性があります
タンポポの緑はビタミンKとカルシウムの良い供給源です(12)。これらの栄養素は両方とも骨の健康に関連しています。
Vitamin K is known to increase the formation of bone. It also can regulate calcium balance and bone metabolism. In addition to increasing bone mineral density, vitamin K also reduces fracture rates (16).
Calcium intake also influences bone health in a positive way. It plays an important role in preventing bone loss and fractures (17).
The compounds in dandelion contain prebiotics, which were found to enhance calcium absorption. This way, they also may a role to play in bone health (18).
7. May Improve Liver Health
Dandelion root may promote liver health in multiple ways. In a study, it could alleviate high-fat diet-induced non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and also reduce alcohol-induced oxidative stress (19).
Some research also suggests that dandelion can promote recovery from liver injury (20).
8. May Boost Immunity
The flavonoid contents of dandelion may have a major impact on the human immune system. It contains short-chain fatty acids, which were found to boost immune function and prevent infectious diseases in weaned pigs (21).
Dandelion also may nourish the blood cells in the body. Mice studies show it can help achieve normal red blood cells and white blood cells balance. This way, it may boost the immune system (22).
9. May Prevent Anemia
There is less information available in this aspect. Some research states that dandelion can help prevent anemia as it contains iron (23). One cup of chopped dandelion (55 g) contains about 2 mg of iron (12).
10. May Prevent Water Retention In Kidneys
The diuretic properties of dandelion can help here. Its high potassium content makes dandelion a good diuretic (24).
In a study, intake of dandelion increased the urinary frequency in subjects over a period of 5 hours (25). Hence, this plant shows promise as a diuretic in humans and may help prevent water retention in kidneys. However, if you have kidney disease, consult your doctor before using dandelion.
11. May Boost Skin Health
Studies show that dandelion extracts can protect the skin from UVB damage. They exhibited protective effects against photoaging (26).
In folk medicine, dandelion (especially the sap of the plant) was believed to be used to treat warts and eczema, among other skin disorders (27).
Some evidence also states that the sap of dandelion may be used to combat acne (28). However, more research is warranted in this regard.
These are the ways dandelion can make your life better. Though we know a few of the nutrients present in this plant, well, there is a lot more. In the following section, we will take a detailed look at dandelion’s nutrition profile.

That’s an impressive nutritional profile, isn’t it? Including dandelions in your diet is quite easy. Up next, we will discuss a few simple ways to do just that.
How To Consume Dandelions
- The simplest way to consume dandelions is to include them in a salad. Just toss a few dandelion greens into your evening vegetable salad.
- Sauteéd dandelions are another good option. Cooking dandelions removes their bitterness. You can boil the greens for about 5 minutes and then transfer them to a pan with garlic and hot olive oil. Sauté for 3 to 5 minutes. Eat as it is.
- You can also use dandelion flower petals in your preparations. You can add the petals to your bakery items like muffins, cookies, or even plain bread.
The most popular way of enjoying the goodness of dandelion is in the form of tea. But how do you make it?
How To Make Dandelion Tea
The process is simple.
- Throw the dandelion roots into a food processor and process.
- Dry them at 250o F in an oven until they are completely dry.
- Roast in the oven at 350o F until they turn brown.
- Add the roots to water in a pan and bring to a boil. You can add 2 tablespoons of the root for every 16 oz of water.
- Simmer for 20 minutes.
- Strain the liquid and drink.
What Is The Ideal Dosage Of Dandelions?
The American Botanical Council recommends the following doses (29):
- For the powdered root, the dosage is 3 to 4 grams, thrice daily.
- If you are taking a decoction, boil 3 to 4 grams of powdered root in 150 ml of water.
- In case of an infusion, you can steep 1 tablespoon of cut root in 150 ml of water.
- If you are having a tincture, stick to 10 to 15 drops, thrice daily.
You can get the supplement here.
Before you start making dandelion a regular part of your diet, you need to be aware of its side effects.
Do Dandelions Have Any Side Effects?
- May Cause Allergies
Dandelions may cause allergic contact dermatitis. This can be attributed to the presence of compounds called sesquiterpene lactones, which are irritants. The symptoms of these allergies include dry and itchy eczema-like reactions (31).
- May Interfere With Blood Thinners
Dandelion is rich in vitamin K, which aids blood clotting. Dandelion may interfere with blood thinners like Warfarin (32).
- May Cause Kidney Failure In Susceptible Individuals
There is less research on this. However, a herbal remedy containing dandelion as one of the primary ingredients caused renal failure (33). If you have kidney issues, please avoid dandelion and check with your doctor.
There is no information on the safety of dandelion during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Hence, consult your doctor in this regard.
Conclusion
Though they seem like simple weeds, dandelions may have several benefits. However, more research is needed to establish these benefits for humans. Also, be aware of the possible side effects and consult your healthcare provider before including dandelion or its supplements in your diet.
