Wheatgrass is said to have some unique and, in some cases, curative benefits. Rich with vital amino acids, chlorophyll, enzymes, minerals and vitamins, this young grass is most effective when freshly juiced.Wheatgrass is best used in its most natural state; and because of this, many people try their luck at growing their own wheatgrass, as opposed to buying it from a local grower or market. If you’re not particularly partial to drinking grass, you can add your wheatgrass juice to fresh cucumber or celery juice, a fruit or green smoothie or drink with a water or juice chaser.
Wheatgrass juice is one of the best sources of living chlorophyll, the basis of all plant life. Here are some of the many benefits of wheatgrass juice:
- Acts as a disinfectant.
- Aides in digestion.
- Cleanses internal organs.
- Fights tumors and neutralizes toxins.
- Helps to detoxify the liver.
- Helps to reduce high blood pressure.Restores alkalinity to the blood.
- Helps to rejuvenate aging cells when consumed.
- Improves blood sugar problems.
- Relieves sore throats when gargled.
- Soothes sunburn.
- Stimulates healing; externally applied directly to the skin, it can relieve itching almost instantly.
- Works as a sleep aide. Try putting a tray of wheatgrass close to your headboard. It will enhance the oxygen in the air and generate healthful negative ions to help you get a more restful night’s sleep.
