Right.

Yeah.

And she stormed out of the room.

Sometimes we have to learn the hard way, but it is reassuring that things seem to be coming full circle.

You know what I mean?

Yeah, I feel like people are getting a little more eyes open to stuff like that.

Yeah, they're getting on board the dandelion train.

So one thing about those studies that you said, like they're essentially confirming to our modern tastes what the Chinese knew all the way back in 659 CE.

People like Nicholas Culpepper knew in the 18th century.

All these people wrote about this stuff and just how effective it was.

And then now science is going in and saying these people were right and here's how it is effective.

I think that's pretty cool.

And in part because of that, the dandelion is being rehabilitated.

But first, I think we need to mention, you said that it came by North America.

I piped up on purpose, I think more than once even.

I was so excited about that.

And it's possible it was actually on the Mayflower.

It arrived that early.

And they think that because of plant migration, as we talked about before, the dandelion may have spread ahead of Europeans as they entered further and further into the North American continent.

And so Native Americans that they encountered may have already been using dandelions in some of their medicines.
