The amazing healing benefits of wheatgrass were brought to the public’s attention by Dr. Ann Wigmore in The Wheatgrass Book:
How to Grow and Use Wheatgrass to Maximize Your Health and Vitality.
When I started learning about cleansing approximately 30 years ago,
I learned about the positive effects that grasses have on our body.
I learned about barley grass as well as wheatgrass. The chlorophyll-rich grasses have enormous amounts of antioxidants and are highly alkalizing. There are so many benefits from consuming juice that has been freshly extracted from grasses.
Here are some of the benefits of wheatgrass juice, according to Dr. Ann Wigmore:
1. When externally applied to the skin, it can help eliminate itching almost immediately.
2. It can soothe sunburned skin and act as a disinfectant.
3, When rubbed into the scalp before a shampoo, it can help mend damaged hair and alleviate itchy, scaly scalp conditions.
4. It can soothe and heal cuts, burns, scrapes, rashes, poison ivy, athlete’s foot, insect bites, boils, sores, open ulcers, tumors, and so on. (Use as a poultice and replace every two to four hours.)
5. When consumed, it can return gray hair to its natural color and act as a beauty treatment.
6. Drinking wheatgrass juice will cleanse your blood and help rejuvenate aging cells, slowing the aging process down, and making you feel more alive right away. It will help tighten loose and sagging skin.
7. It can lessen the effects of radiation. One enzyme found in wheatgrass, SOD, lessens the effects of radiation and acts as an anti-inflammatory compound that may prevent cellular damage following heart attacks or exposure to irritants.
8. Consuming wheatgrass can restore fertility and promote youthfulness.
9. Wheatgrass can be used as a sleep aid. Place a tray of living wheatgrass near the head of your bed. It will enhance the oxygen in the air and generate healthful negative ions to help you sleep more soundly.
10. When gargled, it can sweeten the breath, and firm and tighten gums. [i]
Many health clinics in the United States today (like the Ann Wigmore Foundation and Retreat Center, Hippocrates Institute, and the Tree of Life, just to name a few) use wheatgrass as a mainstay of their healing programs.
The grass is high in antioxidants, oxygenates the blood, and is nutrient-dense. It is such an easy and simple healing modality.
