Discover the Health Benefits of Dandelion Tea

10. Side Effects of Dandelion Tea

While dandelion greens, roots, stems, and tea all have individual and joint health benefits, don't go grazing on your lawn just yet. Dandelions found in your yard may have been subjected to pesticides and lawn chemicals that make them unsafe for consumption. Always choose farmed dandelions from a reputable grower or your local grocery store. Dandelions can cause allergic reactions when taken by mouth or applied to the skin of sensitive people. If you’re allergic to ragweed and related plants (daisies, chrysanthemums, marigolds), you’re likely to be allergic to dandelion.
