Health Benefits of drinking Wheatgrass Juice

Wheatgrass juice is an incredibly nutritious living super food. Freshly juiced it's almost a complete food in itself. An excellent source of chlorophyll, and very rich in vitamin E. It is said to have an alkalizing effect on the body.

There are said to be many health benefits to be gained by juicing wheatgrass and drinking the fresh green juice, and I certainly feel much calmer and focused when I get my daily 2 ounce shot of wheatgrass juice.

The health benefits of drinking wheatgrass:

• help clean and build the blood

• improve immunity, increasing the bodies ability to fight off diseases

• help the body rejuvenate

• help cure diseases such as anemia

• help the body fight cancer, and destroy cancerous growths

• help stabilize blood sugar

• help detoxify the body

Wheatgrass Juice - External and Topical Uses

Not only can wheatgrass juice be drunk for health and well-being, but it has many uses externally as well.

• The juice can be used to calm and help heal burns, cuts, rashes, stings, and bites.

• A simple poultice can be made by soaking some semi-dry grass in wheatgrass juice, and applying it to sore skin. Held in place with a bandage it is said to sooth the skin, and draw out any toxins.

• Wheatgrass juice acts as a disinfectant on the skin and scalp, and provides nutrients that can be absorbed through the skin.

• If you have a sore throat then chewing on fresh wheat grass, or gargling with wheatgrass juice will help fight the infection. (I've tried this one, and it worked for me!)

• Rubbing the juice onto sore gums, or applying a poultice to a sore tooth is said to promote healing, reduce the pain, and stop bleeding.

• Finely strained wheatgrass juice can be used as an eyewash for sore or tired eyes, and can be gently applied with a dropper into the ear to help relieve ear ache. It can also be applied with a dropper to the nose to help clear blocked sinuses.

In her book The Hippocrates Diet and Health Program Ann Wigmore warns that using wheatgrass juice on sensitive parts of the body such as the eyes, ears, or nose may cause symptoms to worsen at first, and should this occur then to dilute the wheatgrass juice, or stop using it altogether.
