Beetroot Herbal Remedy

Beetroot (Beta vulgaris) is a highly nutritious plant valued in both traditional herbal medicine and modern natural health. Both the leaf and the root carry unique medicinal properties, making beetroot a powerful and versatile remedy. While the root is best known for supporting circulation and liver health, the leaf is rich in essential vitamins and minerals that strengthen overall wellbeing. This dual-action remedy offers support for detoxification, cardiovascular health, energy, and nutrient replenishment.

• Provides antioxidant protection, helping combat oxidative stress and inflammation.
• Traditionally used to support liver detoxification and healthy bile flow.
• May help regulate blood pressure due to magnesium and potassium content.

Available Formats: Elixir, Tincture, and Glycetract

We offer this herbal remedy in three different preparations to suit a variety of health needs, taste preferences, and sensitivities. Whether you're looking for a traditional alcohol-based tincture, a sweet and nourishing elixir (also contains alcohol), or a gentle alcohol-free glycetract, you can choose the form that’s right for you or your loved ones.

Glycetract (Glycerite)

Glycetracts are alcohol-free extracts made using vegetable glycerin and water. They are ideal for those who are sensitive to alcohol, including children, pets, or those with liver conditions. While they are not always as potent as tinctures, they are still effective and particularly well-suited for milder conditions or long-term support.

Best for: Children, pets, those avoiding alcohol, or for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding (with practitioner advice).

Elixir

Elixirs are traditional herbal preparations made using a blend of alcohol, Glycerin, and water. They are often used when you want both therapeutic action and a palatable, sweetish flavour, especially for those who prefer not to taste the bitterness of herbs.

Best for: Adults and children - ages 1+, general wellness and those who dislike bitter tinctures.

Tincture

Tinctures are highly concentrated herbal extracts made using alcohol as a solvent. This is one of the most effective ways to extract the full medicinal spectrum of most herbs, including alkaloids, essential oils, and resins.

Best for: Adults or those looking for fast, potent results. Not ideal for those sensitive to alcohol, reformed alcoholics or for young children under 1.

By purchasing and using these tinctures, you accept full responsibility for their use and agree to do so at your own discretion. For any questions about these products, please reach out to us prior to purchasing.

Which One Should I Choose?
