Wheatgrass Powder Benefits - From Field to Wellness

The Miraculous Benefits of Wheatgrass Powder helps for both preventive health care and to help speed up recovery without intervention when taken with any type of treatment.

Diet occupies an important place during sickness and health. The Father of Modern Medicine and great Greek philosopher Hippocrates rightly said ‘Let thy food be thy medicine’. Nature has created food to provide us with nutrition required to maintain health and fight diseases. Our body has the inbuilt ability to heal itself if provided with proper diet, environment and exercise.

What is Wheatgrass?

Wheat Grass means the green vegetable leaves of the young wheat plant (Triticum Aestivum) grown for 7 days in tropical climates. When grown on a large scale it looks like grass, hence it’s called Wheatgrass.

Wheat Grass is known for its therapeutic value since ancient times in Naturopathy (Nature Cure) which is a branch of AYUSH systems of alternative medicine. Drinking the chlorophyll rich green juice of Wheatgrass is known to help in cancer treatment as it has Vit B17 (Laetrile B) which is a boon for the patients of cancer stage I and stage II.

Significance of Wheatgrass being good for health reflects in many Indian traditions. Hindus offer ‘Durva’ (green grass) to the elephant God Ganesha and grow Wheatgrass to worship for nine days during ‘Navratri’ (Durga Puja) festival every year.

Just like many other things of Indian origin, the popularity of Wheatgrass grew worldwide after it was highlighted in western countries. Dr. Charles Schnabel (1895-1974) of USA is considered as the father of Wheatgrass in modern times. He introduced the importance of Wheatgrass in 1930s followed by holistic health practitioner, naturopath and raw food advocate Dr. Ann Wigmore (1909-1994) who popularised the usage and benefits of Wheatgrass to the masses worldwide. She is the founder of Hippocrates Health Institute, USA and Ann Wigmore Natural Health Institute, Mexico. Extensive research and publicity by them promoted Wheatgrass being hailed as – Panacea on Earth.

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.
