- As you drink a freshly squeezed shot of wheatgrass, this liquid form a
llows for maximum absorption of all its nutrients. Its nutrients are so volatile that it must be consumed within 20 minutes directly after juicing.
- Wheatgrass grow energizes and reduces fatigue. I’ve noticed when I’m tired and I take a shot of wheatgrass I suddenly regain vitality. So scratch the expresso and take the healthier wake-up call with a shot of wheatgrass.

- It boosts the immune system.
- Promotes regularity and helps fight constipation.

- Great for skin problems, treats acne, removes acne scars, and improves your complexion.
Because of all its nutrients and the continual use, Ann Wigmore’s hair naturally turned from grey back to its original brown color. She was a leading pioneer for the many uses of wheat grass.
The nutrients in 1ounce of wheatgrass is equivalent to 2.5 pounds of the best vegetables. Now, you can receive some good nutrients through juicing vegetables but anyone who has juiced there own veggies knows how annoying that can be. To receive a decent amount of nutrients from vegetables you have to juice several different kinds. On top of that you need to drink at least 6 to 8 ounces which can be pretty tough to choke down.
As I mentioned before, growing your own wheatgrass comes out to about 2-8 cents per 1-ounce shot. You can’t beat that when it comes to paying for medicine/nutrients. It is not popularly advertised probably because the AMA (American Medical Association) would step in and try and outlaw the claims. They’ve done it before with other alternative treatments such as “Oxygen Therapies.”
With synthetic drugs companies can control a patent that allows them to be the only seller of a certain drug. This way they make a lot of dough.
You cannot put a patent on a natural product. This is why much of the modern western medicine system is against natural methods of healing. Though many of the prescription drugs are made from herbal plants, synthetic counter parts are added to create a product that can be controlled with a patent.
Have you ever noticed your pet or anyone else’s nibbling or licking on blades of grass outside. They eat it to help ade digestion or when they are sick. Good bacteria grows on grasses, the same type of good bacteria you need for proper intestinal flora. These bacteria help with many things in the body especially the immune system and digestion. And some how, animals instinctively know to get this off of the grass.There is much more to learn about wheatgrass, I have only scraped the surface about this powerful substance.

For superior health, Growing Wheatgrass is a must. Even if you only use it for a couple months out of the year.

If you think you are missing any nutrients in your diet you will find it in Wheatgrass.
The Amazing Nutrients of Wheatgrass:
- It is a complete protein containing over 20 essential and non-essential amino acids.
- In the Vitamin department it contains twice as much Vit. A (Beta-Carotene) than carrots, all the B vitamins including the elusive B-12, more Vit. C than oranges, Vit E, and Vit. K.
- Wheatgrass is an excellent source for all major and minor minerals, containing 92 of the 102 minerals found in the soil. It is especially high in calcium, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus and potassium, as well as trace minerals such as zinc and selenium.
- Contains essential fatty acids: Linolenic Acid and Linoleic Acid.
- It has over 80 different enzymes that have thus far been discovered.
- And it is high in chlorophyll, which we will discuss in a second.
So if your looking for a protein, vitamin, mineral, antioxidant, or enzyme supplement, here’s where you’ll find it. It’s an all in one, concentrated, overall source of nutrition. Charles F. Schnabel, an agricultural chemist, discovered that 15 lbs. of Wheatgrass is equivalent to 350 lbs. of the choicest vegetables.
Wheatgrass Benefits – Part 2
The Magic of Chlorophyll
The chlorophyll in wheatgrass acts like a magnet and attaches to all sorts of trash floating around in the blood stream, including toxic metals such as mercury. It will wash away drug deposits from the body, neutralize toxins, helps to clean and purify the liver, prevents aging, and stabilizes blood sugar levels (excellent for diabetics). It enriches the blood; removes blood disorders, and lowers blood pressure.
Many women have a problem with low iron in their blood (anemia). Well here is your fix ladies. Experiments proved that severely anemic rabbits make a rapid return to a normal blood count once chlorophyll is administered. The reason it is so effective is because the chemical structure of chlorophyll it is nearly identical to Hemin, which is a part of Hemoglobin,
the protein part of the blood that carries oxygen. Because the body is able to rebuild the blood with chlorophyll it is like virtually giving an anemic patient a blood transfusion.
If you’re an athlete I hope you thought about that last paragraph. The chlorophyll will help build more red blood cells so that you can carry more oxygen!
Many runners have noticed a great improvement in their training when taking grass. Bruce McVay from Salt Lake City, Utah is an ultra-distance runner (races from 30 to 100 miles or more). He tried every food enhancing supplement and natural food source to improve his health, stamina, and oxygenation process. After learning about the superior effects, he started taking daily doses of wheatgrass. After 1 to 2 months of cleansing, which consisted of a few headaches and itching, he noticed a drastic improvement in his performance, energy, and stamina. Before taking wheatgrass he was always a middle to rear of the pack racer. After a short time he was winning these grueling races. Check out his victories in “Wheatgrass Natures Finest Medicine” by Steve Meyerowitz.
The chlorophyll in wheatgrass will also provide us with protection against X-ray radiation from hospital equipment, televisions, computer screens, transmitters and microwaves.
Chlorophyll has long been famous for its ability to heal infected and ulcerated wounds. Studies have proven that tissue cell activity and its normal regrowth are definitely increased by using chlorophyll. You can use this stuff anywhere on or in the body where there is infection or disease. It’s great medicine for healing bleeding gums, canker sores, trench mouth, pyorrhea, gingivitis, and even sore throat. I can personally attest to whiter cleaner teeth after holding a ¾ shot of wheatgrass juice in my mouth for about 15min. It is a great antibacterial cleanser.
I’ve even noticed where some movie producers have added scenes that have shown people chewing up different types of green herbs and then placing the chewed pulp on the wounds of people and animals. If you ever see this, now you’ll know why.

Wheatgrass refers to the young grass of the common wheat plant, Triticum aestivum, that is freshly juiced or dried into powder for animal and human consumption. Both provide chlorophyll, amino acids, minerals, vitamins, and enzymes. Claims about wheatgrass’s health benefits range from providing supplemental nutrition to having unique curative properties. Some consumers grow and juice wheatgrass in their homes. It is often available in juice bars alone, or in mixed fruit and/or vegetable drinks. It is also available in many health food stores as fresh produce, tablets, frozen juice and powder.
History
The consumption of wheatgrass in the Western world began in the 1930s as a result of experiments by Charles F. Schnabel and his attempts to popularize the plant.[1]
Schnabel, an agricultural chemist, conducted his first experiments with young grasses in 1930, when he used fresh cut grass in an attempt to nurse dying hens back to health. The hens not only recovered, but they produced eggs at a higher rate than healthy hens. Encouraged by his results, he began drying and powdering grass for his family and neighbors to supplement their diets. The following year, Schnabel reproduced his experiment and achieved the same results. Hens consuming rations supplemented with grass doubled their egg production. Schnabel started promoting his discovery to feed mills, chemist and the food industry. Two large corporations, Quaker Oats and American Dairies Inc., invested millions of dollars in further research, development and production of products for animals and humans. By 1940, cans of Schnabel’s powdered grass were on sale in major drug stores throughout the United States and Canada.[2]
Usage
The average dosage taken by consumers of wheatgrass is 3.5 grams (powder or tablets). Some also have a fresh-squeezed 30 ml shot once daily or for more therapeutic benefits a higher dose up to 2–4 oz taken 1-3 times per day on an empty stomach and before meals. For detoxification, some users may increase their intake to 3–4 times per day. It should be noted that consumers with a poor diet may experience nausea on high dosages of wheatgrass.[citation needed] Outdoor wheatgrass is harvested for a few days each year from plants grown in the “bread basket” regions of the US and Canada. Winter wheat requires more than 200 days of slow growth in cold temperatures to reach the peak nutritional content. Even after that length of time, the plant is only 7 to 10 inches high..
