Radishes also fortify digestion and loosen blockages of the spleen and liver. Yet whoever etas too freely of them will be oppressed by windiness.
Radishes are strongly diuretic and stimulate the appetite and digestion. Nearly one-third of the mineral content of radishes is potassium which builds muscular tissues and of the remaining two-thirds, more than one-third is sodium which keeps the blood fluid and prevents the accumulation of acid deposits.
The iron and magnesium content are both high and for this reason radish juice has a marked effect in healing and soothing the mucous membranes and cleansing mucous from the body. Radish juice is also strong in iodine and chlorine. It has marked influence therefore, in cases of goiter, gallstones and weakened nerves. The juice also is helpful in catarrhal conditions.
