A few years ago my acupuncturist told me my liver qi was messed up and that I should juice beets to detox it. I actually don't mind that earthy taste, so I juiced two and drank it fairly quickly... and very soon after threw it all up. She said my body can't handle detoxing the liver that quickly and that I needed to juice just part of a beet.
The experience ruined beets for me but I have a healthy respect for them :) Maybe I should give it a go again.
sounds like a normal reaction of a vegan who suddenly had a load of iron
are you a vegan?
If your body isn't used to it you have to take it moderately the same way they give us IV ;)
its the first time I heard that beet actually can be used to detoxify your liver, I'm taking more of a blend of dandelion, fennel, coriander, turmeric, ginger, anise and cinnamon to do that in a week once a month when I get to splurge eating out with any of my friends
it's also the reason I always take ginger and turmeric there
I'm not a vegan, but I guess I'm sensitive to beets. Now that I know, I will definitely be more moderate. Some things you just have to learn the hard way.
Your concoction of dandelion, fennel, etc, sounds intense but effective. :)
