    Dandelion is a diuretic, I doubt it would shrink cysts.

    As to tea everyone is different , tea could bring on an attack, try to leave

    a gap between other food and drink and see if anything happens .

    Let us know how you get on.

      Hi Linda282930, thanks for the reply. I will try the leaves. I assume leaves is what you're speaking of. Someone once said that dandlion roots pull all the fluid from a cyst , but, I'll give it a try and let all know.

      Hi, Dandelion root makes you wee a lot , people take it

      for excess fluid . I don't know about the leaves .

      Good luck if you try it and let me know how you get on .

    Dandelion is a diuretic but it is also beneficial for the liver, particularly in combination with milk thistle and artichoke and that combination can be helpful for liver cysts. Might be worth investigating.

      Thanks lisawilly for your reply. I have tried the dandelion tea, and I somewhat had an irritating pain under my right rib so I stopped it. I will try the milk thistle. Does it come in capsules? I think I will hold on the tea and try capsules if they both come in capsules.
