This little golden sunshine flower is considered an annoying weed that most want out of their perfect looking yards. I love seeing this one pop up every spring, and they are everywhere!

Did you know it has medicinal properties and that you can eat it? And you can use the root, leaf and flower. ————————————————————
Here’s some benefits:
• its a liver support and detoxification • female health and hormone balance • clearer skin (by tincture, poultice, capsule or tea form)

• blood sugar balance

If you know your yard is a safe (non-sprayed yard), you can consider harvesting it yourself. We have chickens and a neighbor dog, so, no thanks.

But, next time I’m in the wild, I’ll be harvesting some for sure.

Here’s a few things you can do with the flower: You can make a tea with the roots and leaves, put the leaves and flowers on a salad and make a coffee substitute.

I’m always amazed how our world is full of powerful superfoods all around that we just don’t even pay attention to. 🌼🌿
