Beets & Buried Pain: A Root Remedy for Trauma and Detox
Nature and Energy Healing
Let’s have a heart-to-heart… about beets.
Yes, those crimson, earthy little roots that bleed all over your cutting board and taste they were pulled straight from the soul of the earth.. Love them or hate them, here’s what you need to know: beets are healers—body, mind, and spirit.
This isn’t just a “superfood” post. We’re going deeper. We’re talking cellular memory, and emotional detox. Yep, beets help you move old pain out of your bloodstream and out of your life.
Blood Remembers: The Science + the Soul of Cellular Memory
Every experience you’ve ever had—every heartbreak, betrayal, trauma, joy, and triumph, didn’t just affect your mind.
It imprinted your cells.
Science now shows that emotional stress changes your biochemistry. It affects how your nervous system operates, how your genes express themselves, and even how your immune system responds.
This is what we mean by cellular memory. Your body stores emotion in its tissues—especially unprocessed ones like grief, fear, anger, and shame. And your blood? It’s the river that carries it all.
In traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurvedic systems, blood is more than biology. It’s the holder of spirit, memory, and emotion. And if your blood is stagnant, sluggish, or toxic it is holding onto the past.
From my experience as an Integrated Energy Therapist, I’ve seen that trauma isn’t always something you remember—it’s something your body holds onto. Even if it’s faded from your mind, it can stay lodged in your cells and energy field, quietly affecting your health, mood, and how safe you feel in your own skin—until it’s consciously released.
And here’s where it gets even more interesting: your body is constantly trying to support you in that release. Sometimes, it’s the most unassuming tools from nature that help move that stuck energy—like the humble beet.
Beets are more than just vibrant salad toppers or smoothie boosters. They’re blood builders. Detoxifiers. Root chakra warriors. These crimson roots support circulation, liver function, and nitric oxide production, which opens up blood vessels. They literally and energetically helping things move.
Beets: The Blood Builders & Emotional Releasers
Beets are known for their ability to build and purify blood, thanks to their:
Iron and folate (for red blood cell production)
Betalains (antioxidants that support detox and reduce inflammation)
Nitrates (which increase nitric oxide to improve circulation)
Liver-loving compounds that help your body release toxins
Therefore, when you cleanse the blood and support the liver, you also help release emotional residues stored in those systems.
The liver, for example, is said to store anger and resentment. By nourishing and detoxifying it with beets, you’re not just helping your body flush out physical waste—you’re helping it let go of what’s been emotionally weighing you down.
Root Chakra Healing: Ground Down to Rise Up
Energetically, beets are tied to the root chakra—the energy center at the base of the spine that governs:
Safety
Survival
Groundedness
Ancestral trauma
Our connection to Earth and physical existence
Many of us are walking around with unhealed root chakra wounds. We feel unsafe, disconnected, unworthy, or like we’re in survival mode 24/7.
Beets can help. Their deep red color resonates with the root chakra, and their mineral content brings grounding energy into the body. When you eat beets (or take beetroot supplements), you’re anchoring yourself. You’re saying: I am safe in my body. I am letting go of what no longer belongs.
A Simple Ritual: Beetroot Reset Smoothie

Remember: What Your Body Doesn’t Release, It Stores
Old emotions don’t just disappear. They sink deep—into the blood, the bones, the belly. But your body has an incredible ability to release, reset, and renew—when you give it the right tools.
Beets are one of those tools. They’re not just food. They’re medicine for your bloodstream. Therapy for your liver. Grounding energy for your root.
And if you’re ready to go deeper than diet alone—working through what’s stored in your energy field, releasing trauma on a cellular level, and feeling truly safe in your body—that’s exactly the kind of healing I support in my Heartlinked Healing sessions.
So whether you’re blending a smoothie, taking a supplement, or looking at a beet with newfound respect… remember:
Healing doesn’t always shout—sometimes it starts deep beneath the surface, where trauma quietly lingers in your cells, just like a beet hidden beneath the earth.
