Using Wheatgrass as a Healer

By Jennifer

Wheat grass is a seven-inch tall grass that is grown from wheat berries that are sown on one inch of soil.  It is people who are serious about healing and managing chronic diseases.

 

There is a property in wheat grass juice that enables it to sustain life in mammals and it can support human life if you eat it indefinitely.  It is a whole food that can sustain a warm blooded being without the diet having to be supplemented by any other type of food, which is really quite remarkable. It is also a renewable resource that grows from seed to maturity in just a week.

Wheatgrass is used to clear up a big range of ailments including acne, premature aging, anemia, arthritis, asthma, bladder disorders, high blood pressure, low blood pressure, bone disorders, bronchitis, cancer, circulatory weakness, varicose veins, colitis, constipation diabetes, gum disease, eye disorders, fatigue, hay fever, hair loss, heart disease, hypoglycemia, impotence, infection, kidney disorders, liver disorders, lung disorders, nervous disorders, skin disorders, ulcers and weight loss.

 

Wheatgrass juice is recently making headlines because it contains many anti-aging nutrients. Among one of the most powerful anti-aging components is super oxide dismutase (S.O.D.); vitamins A, B complex, C, and E; chlorophyll; a full range of minerals and trace elements including calcium, iron, magnesium and potassium, a number of special enzymes; and amino acids (the building blocks that are used to create protein.)

 

Wheat grass juice also enhances the body’s defenses. It help protects the lungs and blood from water an air pollution, cigarette smoke, toxins and heavy metals.  This is because wheatgrass has been shown to have anti-oxidative properties that help fight the kinds of free radical damage that cause degenerative diseases and aging.

 

It is also used as a potent aid in many weight loss formulas and weight loss juicing programs. As it is a whole food it can offer full sustenance and nutrition with next to no calorie intake.

 

Of course it tastes awful and is a real pain to put in the juicer but it is an amazing healer. In fact, wheatgrass is really the only juice you will ever need to drink during a fast as it is a whole food.  Some people become accustomed to the strange grassy and minty taste, which is due to high chlorophyll content. Some people take wheatgrass straight with a chaser of water and other people prefer to mix it in a juice cocktail.
