Raw Food Materia Medica - "Beets" - Brigitte Mars
Beets are members of the Goosefoot Family. Beets have long been used therapeutically to improve anemia as they help to build red corpuscles. The red pigment known as betaine helps to increase oxygen intake of the body. Beets are said to be both blood cleansing and blood building. Other ailments that have been improved by the use of beets include constipation, infectious hepatitis, irregular menses, acne, lumbago, and low blood sugar. Beets abound with beta-carotene, vitamins C, B, iron, calcium, phosphorus, sodium and manganese.
