Wheatgrass juice was chosen for its healing properties by Hippocrates founder Ann Wigmore (and her cat) almost 50 years ago and remains an integral part of our programs. In our programs, the juice is consumed orally, and used in enemas and rectal implants.
Wheatgrass is a blood purifier, cleanser, and detoxifier. It contains chlorophyll, which helps carry oxygen to every cell in your body. Oxygen in the body's cells helps fight off disease, harmful bacteria, and cancer (see books written by Brian Clement or Ann Wigmore for more information). Wheatgrass must be "squeezed" or juiced in order for the body to assimilate its nutrients; so, unlike sunflower and pea green sprouts, it is not appropriate to add it to a salad.
Wheatgrass Juice and Wheat Allergies
Wheatgrass is grown from the wheat seed or berry which is farmed widely in almost every US state and around the globe. People with wheat allergies need not be concerned when consuming wheatgrass juice. Wheatgrass is a leafy green and is different altogether from the grain and refined grain products that people often develop allergies to. Wheatgrass does not contain the gluten found in the grain, which is the component of wheat often causing people problems. Grass is also a complete protein when grown in a soil base. There is also plenty of protein in a proper raw vegetarian diet, and it is digestible protein.
