In spring, at Casa Brăduț in Dorna Arini, nature awakens slowly but spectacularly. The forest comes back to life, the air becomes gentler, and the surrounding meadows are blanketed in yellow dandelion flowers. It is one of those simple yet authentic moments where you feel just how close you are to nature. Right here, from our courtyard and surroundings, dandelions grow freely and unconstrained, exactly as they always have. It is the perfect time to gather them and transform them into natural remedies or into part of your spring diet. We are also delighted to welcome our guests this season with a dandelion tea, prepared simply from plants gathered in the area — a small gesture of spring and the beginning of mountain relaxation. Why is the dandelion so valuable? Although many consider it just a wildflower, the dandelion is a plant with remarkable properties. It is rich in vitamins A, C, K and B, as well as minerals such as iron, calcium and potassium. It also contains antioxidants that support the body's natural detoxification processes. In traditional medicine, the dandelion has been used for centuries to support liver function, digestion and immunity. Dandelion tea – simple and natural Dandelion tea is one of the most well-known ways to consume this plant. It is prepared from the leaves or root and is valued for its mild detoxifying and diuretic effect. It is often used to support digestion and eliminate excess water from the body, making it a natural ally of spring. Juice and fresh uses Young dandelion leaves can also be eaten raw, in spring salads alongside other wild plants. Their slightly bitter taste is distinctive, but nutritionally valuable. In some traditions, dandelion is also used in the form of juice or concentrated infusions, for its revitalising effects. A simple experience, lived at Casa Brăduț Here, at the edge of the forest, gathering dandelions is not a planned activity, but something natural. You step out of the courtyard and find them everywhere, in silence, in clean air, without rush. It is the kind of experience that reconnects you with the simple rhythm of nature — exactly as it once was.
