Tag: Natural appetite

For centuries, dandelion has been used in traditional herbal medicine systems, including those in Europe and China, as a bitter tonic to help with digestive complaints and stimulate appetite. This common garden 'weed' is a surprising source of vitamins, minerals, and bitter compounds that have long been valued for their medicinal properties.

Research has shown that, just like many animals, humans can experience changes in appetite as seasons shift, with a tendency to eat more in the winter. So, is it natural to eat more in winter? Several physiological and psychological factors contribute to this phenomenon, including thermoregulation, hormonal fluctuations, and seasonal mood changes.
