Dandelion Leaf actually has more diuretic properties than the root. The root is a better hepatic agent. You will also probably not hear this anywhere else but a hefty dose of any or better yet all of the below will help depending on your E levels.

I concocted this for my girlfriend whom was complaining of bloating no matter the time of the month. I dosed her at half those doses above and she pissed like mad all day, was less bloated, especially around that time of the month, and with much less severe cramping at that special time of the month.
I thought it would work but didn't anticipate the increased urination until she made a big deal about it. And that confirmed my original thoughts.
Now for males the same dose (half as what is stated above) didn't give the same results as it did for her. But an increased dose did give some good results. I wouldn't recommend it for females all the time but for those times that shorter term estrogen induced water retition was a factor it works great. It's not cheap either but it's a good natural remedy.
Now this method is good only to inhibit estrogen induced water retention. It's one approcah to rid yourself of water. And you'll see the best results if your E levels are high.
