This nutritious tonic has cleansing and rejuvenating properties.  The medicinal use of grasses and chlorophyll date back to the Bible and have been used widely ever since. Grass poultices have been used for their cooling properties to treat inflammation, burns, itchiness and eyestrain.  Nutritionally, wheat grass possesses high protein levels similar to most meats, and also has traces of vitamin B12.

Beets have strong detoxifying properties as they are high in chlorine which assists in the cleansing of the liver, kidneys and bloodstream. They are also rich in potassium which balances the metabolism.
