Summer Break Day 9

It has been a busy day!  We got our breakfast, took the trash to the dump, went to Party City to see what Tinkerbell stuff they had, I need to go back and buy her the outfit when I can, and then I went to order her birthday cake.  I will have to order more plates and napkins on Monday when my husband's check hits the bank.  When we got back home, I fed the kids lunch then began working on the things stored in my.  I have my daughters 18-month and 3T clothes vacuum sealed so my sister can get them some day for her daughter.  I'm washing the last of the old clothes now so I can get the rest bagged and sealed.   Tomorrow I'll get my son's old clothes done and find the sink...  Who knows. I may be able to find the bathroom before school starts back up!  I didn't get very good sleep last night so I didn't make my son take a nap when we got back home.  We can go to bed early tonight!  New herb tomorrow!

On to the constituents of dandelion!

Violaxanthin is yellow and common.  This constituent inhibits the virus that activates Epstein-Barr and promotes an anti-tumor effect and is also an antioxidant. It accumulates in ovarian tissue.  This and other xanthophylls have been found to reverse drug resistance in breast cancer and enhance chemotherapy drugs  (Ganora, 2009, p. 25, 69, 149).

Constituents: Sesquiterpene lactones (taraxacoside), diterpenes (taraxacin), triterpenes (Taraxasterol, arnidiol, faradiol, B-amyrin),  carotenoids (lutin), polysaccharides (mannans)

Have a Great Day!
