Hello Ruth! I just so happen to love the very honest and open-minded mentality of the Germans! (I lived in Berlin for a year). Than you for this site! I have been drinking dandelion tea for a little over a week now because I am trying to alkalise my system (I have a lot of acid symptoms and I take some strong asthma medication). I have also been sweetening the tea with Xylitol for its alkalising affect on the body and dental benefits. Though I typically brush my teeth regularly, I have been slacking over the past couple of months and brushing with baking soda/Natrium (not baking powder/Nicht Backpulver) some days but, completely skipping others. A week ago I started washing my mouth out with the tea, lemon and Xylitol because I have begun feeling like I had an infection beneath my gums. The first time I drank it I got a strong sensation in my mouth so I thought that maybe it was causing a problem. The next morning I noticed that the pain and irritation from the possible infection, that I had been having for more than a week was almost completely gone! I went to the dentist this week and for the first time in my life I was told that I have excellent oral hygiene.

I also have sinuses that do not open up without medication and they are now opening up without any medication. I have two strange hives that are located in the same spot on my cheeks on each side of my nose – I think this may be a sign of detoxification and why my sinuses are open. Dandelions are considered a cultural food in the southern United States where my grandparents are from. I don’t like the taste so making the tea is a good option for me. Thanks again!

Tschüß!

Dear Aman,
I found the statement below just above the contraindication warning you quoted, and hope it helps to clarify and give the information you need:
“Dandelion is generally regarded as safe but some people report allergic or asthmatic reaction to this herb. Dandelion is a member of the Asteraceae/Compositae family and people that are allergic to chamomile chrysanthemums yarrow feverfew ragweed sunflower daisies or other members of the Asteraceae family may be allergic to dandelion as well. Dandelion is not recommended for patients with liver or gallbladder disease because of the traditional belief that dandelion stimulates bile secretion although there are no studies of animals or humans that support this belief.”

Many people over many millennia have safely enjoyed the healthy benefits of dandelion – I hope you are able to do that, too! Ruth
