How to properly use beet broth for various diseases: benefits and harms

Our ancestors already knew about the benefits of red beetroot 2000 years before our era. In the manufacture of medicines, it was used by the healers Paracelsus, Avicenna and Hippocrates.

Beetroot removes toxins and toxins, eliminates excess fat, reduces blood pressure, has a beneficial effect on digestion, fights stress and depressive conditions. It contains a lot of useful vitamins and minerals. It is successfully used for cosmetic purposes.

Medicines are prepared from tops, juice and decoction from root crops. The latter is considered the most suitable for a wide range of users, as it is less aggressive than fresh food. We will talk about how to improve your health with the help of beet broth in this article.

Cooking a decoction of beetroot

First of all, you need to choose the right root vegetable. It should be ripe, without rot. Good beets are dense, with a color ranging from red to burgundy. Young beets have small green shoots at the top. The vegetable is well cleaned from the ground and washed under running water until the dirt is completely removed. After that, beet broth is prepared.

Be careful! Beetroot medicines (especially raw or fresh juice) have a strong effect. Therefore, they should only be used after consulting your doctor.

How to avoid negative consequences

For medical and cosmetic procedures, a root crop that grew in a country house or personal garden plot is best suited, that is, without the use of nitrates. The vegetable quickly accumulates them, and when cooking harmful substances enter the water. It is unlikely that a decoction from such a root vegetable will be useful, but it will harm easily.

If you do decide to make a decoction from store-bought red beets, try to minimize the possible harm. To do this, remove the tail and the top of the fruit with leaves. Cut the top by about a quarter.

By the way! It is in the top and leaves that the most nitrates accumulate if they were used in excess of the norm during cultivation.

Classic recipe

So, the root crop is prepared, you can start cooking. Most often, adherents of traditional medicine use this recipe. A medium-sized vegetable is poured with three liters of water and cooked over low heat for about two hours. The initial volume of liquid after cooking should be halved and reach one liter.

Cool the boiled vegetable, peel, three on a medium-sized grater and fill in the already obtained broth. After that, cook for another twenty minutes. We filter the finished product, now it will cool down and will be ready for use.

Storage terms and rules

Treatment and cleaning is best done with a fresh broth, so you should not harvest a lot of it. A ready-made product from a classic recipe is enough to be taken for one day of treatment. Do not cook more. Better to cook a fresh broth every day.

The finished drug is stored in the refrigerator, the required portion is measured and left at room temperature for 10-20 minutes before use. It is advisable to use the product at room temperature.

Useful and dangerous

Each, even a folk remedy, can bring both benefits and harm. This also applies to drugs from the "red doctor". The broth will harm those who have low blood pressure, as it knocks it down to a dangerous level.

The product is dangerous for people with high sugar levels, because there is a lot of glucose in beets. If you have increased acidity, be careful with the vegetable itself and its components - beets increase acidity. Also, a medicinal drink in large quantities reduces the body's ability to absorb calcium.

What is included in the healing broth

The composition of the beet broth is similar to the composition of the vegetable itself and its juice, only in a slightly lower concentration. We see the chemical composition of beet broth in the table.

The positive effects of the healing drink

A decoction of red beetroot is considered a milder remedy than, for example, beet juice. It does not irritate the gastric mucosa and acts more delicately, because as a result of cooking, many useful substances undergo certain changes.

It is from them that the prostate often suffers, since it is in close proximity to the intestines. It has been established that the product has a positive effect on potency.

So, the classic decoction recipe is used both for prevention (eliminating harmful constipation) and for the treatment of prostate adenoma. But there is another recipe for male health... The remedy inhibits the development of prostate diseases, relieves symptoms, and improves organ function.

Several medium root crops (up to 5 kg of total weight) are washed, cut off the top, filled with water so that they disappear, and boiled over low heat for 4-5 hours. Then the vegetable is crushed into gruel and put back into the broth in which it was cooked. This "porridge" is boiled for another hour, then filtered and boiled until 0.5 liters of liquid remains.
