Juiced, chewed or implanted
wheatgrass
juice is so rich with green chlorophyll and enzyme liquid food that the body
is immediately set on the path of detoxification.
Growing wheatgrass is growing baby wheat. Growing wheat grass at home, then
chewed or juiced, it is a fast and highly effective way to eliminate internal
waste from the body.
The benefits of this complete food (wheatgrass juice) were rediscovered by Dr.
Ann Wigmore in 1960.
Pollution and processed and cooked food have destroyed many of our digestive
enzymes. Juiced, chewed or implanted wheatgrass juice is so rich with green
chlorophyll and enzyme liquid food that the body is immediately set on the path
of detoxification. It increases the elimination of hardened mucus, crystallized
acids and solidified, decaying fecal matter.
Wheatgrass
juice has many anti-aging properties including vitamins A, B complex, C and
E, super oxide dismutase and a full spectrum of minerals and trace elements. It
benefits the blood cells, bones, glands, the kidneys, liver, muscles, spleen and
teeth.
Most wheat allergies are due to the gluten found in the wheat berry. When
growing wheat grass, it is wise to cut before the plant forms a grain(berry) and
therefore has no gluten. It's an excellent addition to the diet of a person with
allergies.
Growing
wheat grass:
Buy organic seeds from your health food store and soak in tepid water for 12
hours (summer) or 24 hours (winter). Find a tray with some drainage and line
with about 10 cm of dark, porous and pleasant smelling earth or top soil.
Spread the soaked seed evenly over the soil and loosely cover the tray with a
towel or plastic sheet to retain moisture and increase the temperature.
Leave in a semi dark spot for three days and keep watering.
When the grass reaches about 5cm, uncover and relocate to a sunny and warm
position. Between 7 and 14 days, depending on the growing conditions, the grass
is ready to harvest and should be around 18cm in height. Cut the grass at the
roots or pull the whole plant out is you want to eat the root, berry and stem.
The grass will yield well a second time. Experiment on your crops to find out
the best way for you. Wheatgrass can be grown using hydroponics or a greenhouse
method.
Drinking and growing wheat grass:
Drink and chew only 1 - 2 tablespoons or 30 ml of wheatgrass juice mixed with
water to begin. The high enzyme content produces an immediate reaction with
toxins and mucus in the stomach, often making you feel a little nauseous. This
means it's needed and should be taken regularly.
Keep going! Increase the juice to 60ml if you can or mix with indoor greens such
as sprouts, celery, parsley or spinach to make it more palatable. Chewing or
juicing wheatgrass, combined with wheatgrass enemas and a diet of mostly fresh,
raw foods will leave you feeling younger and very alive.
