Medicinal Action and Uses: According to John Heinerman Ph.D., in the Encyclopedia of Healing Juices, beets (and beet juices) are a blood-building herb that detoxifies blood and renews it with minerals and natural sugars. The encyclopedia goes on to note that there may be substances in beets that aid circulation. Betaine stimulates the function of liver cells and protects the liver and bile ducts. Red beets build red corpuscles and add tone to blood. An animal study shows that beetroot has a significant tumor-inhibiting effect.
