Diet occupies an important place during sickness and healthy condition. The Father Of Modern Medical Science and the great Greek philosopher Hippocrates rightly said “Let thy food be thy medicine”. Our body has the inbuilt ability to heal itself if provided proper nutrition, environment and exercise.
Chief exponent of this thrapy, Dr Ann Wigmore (1909-1994), was single most responsible for popularizing the usage of Wheatgrass. She is the founder of ‘Hippocrates Institute, Boston, USA’ and has done extensive research and experiments to explore the therapeutic value of Wheatgrass. She has hailed Wheatgrass as ‘A complete natural food’ providing all the necessary nutrition.

Wheatgrass is renowned for its therapeutic value since ancient times. Hindus offer ‘Durva’ (green grass) to the elephant God Ganesh and grow Wheatgrass to worship for nine days during ‘Navratri’ (Laxmi festival) every year. Dr. Ann Wigmore has mentioned the Biblical story about Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar who spent seven years, insane, living like a wild animal eating the grass of the fields and got cured.
The common observation that dogs and cats nibble on grass, presumably when ill, strengthens our belief in the healing power of grasses.

Value :- |

Wheatgrass has the amazing ability to concentrate maximum nutrients from the soil. Scientists have established that it has to be cultivated carefully and harvested at the ‘jointing’ stage (6 to 7 days in tropical climate) when its nutritional content is at its peak. |
|
| l |
Wheatgrass is a naturally rich source of Vitamins, Minerals, Amino acids, Enzymes, Chlorophyll and Dietary Fibre. |
|
| l |
Wheatgrass is said to contain more than 90 different nutritious substances and 19 Amino acids including 9 EAA (essential amino acids). |
|
| l |
The molecular structure of Chlorophyll contained in Wheatgrass bears a close resemblance to the substance called Hemin contained in human blood. Dieticians therefore call Wheatgrass as ‘green blood'. |
|
| l |
The pH (hydrogen molecules) value of human blood and Wheatgrass both is about 7 (alkaline) & is therefore quickly absorbed in the blood and is highly beneficial. |
|
| l |
100 g Wheatgrass Powder, obtained from 1 kg of fresh Wheatgrass, can supply nourishment equal to that obtained from 23 kg of selected vegetables. |
|
| l |
Wheatgrass Powder is high in dietary fibre and thus helps maintain blood sugar level, cholesterol level and prevents constipation. |
