Carrots In Folk Medicine

Did you know that carrots were one of the first vegetables used for medicinal purposes? Carrots are rich in vitamins A, B, C and E, and are one of the best sources of beta-carotene. They also contain high levels of calcium. Many believe carrots are good for liver energy.

Eaten daily, raw carrots can help relieve eye and skin disorders. They can also help with glandular problems, and they may help regulate menstrual cycles.

Carrot soup is good for diarrhea. It slows the bowel while it regulates bacterial growth.

Drinking carrot juice each day can energize and cleanse the body. It can help boost the immune system and may help relieve effects of fatigue and stress.

Dried carrot powder can help with headaches and joint problems.

Carrot juice contains a large amount of beta carotene. Beta carotene increases the elasticity of the blood vessels and reduces the levels of bad cholesterol. It also alkalizes bloodstream and removes deposits from blood vessels.
