In this stress stuffed world, most of the persons are exhausted beyond limit at a premature age. They are always on the look out for rejuvenation. For such people wheatgrass juice is a sure ray of hope. One ounce of wheatgrass juice has the vitamin and mineral equivalent of 2.2 pounds of fresh vegetables. It contains most of the vitamins and minerals needed for human maintenance, including the elusive B12. The elements that are missing in ones body cells - especially enzymes, vitamins, hormones, and nucleic acids can be obtained through this daily green sunlight transfusion. Many of the benefits of wheatgrass juice stem from the fact that it is a living food, which is a complete protein with about 30 enzymes and is approximately 70% crude chlorophyll. Wheatgrass juice has been proven over many years to benefit people in numerous ways: cleansing the lymph system, building the blood, restoring balance in the body, removing toxic metals from the cells, nourishing the liver and kidneys and restoring vitality. A small amount of wheatgrass in the human diet helps prevent tooth decay. Tooth decay is the result of other degenerative changes in the body. Wheatgrass juice is used as Gargles for toothache and sore throat. Wheatgrass juice induces the feel of difference in a persons sense of strength, health, spirituality, endurance and wellbeing. To be effective it juice has to be drunk immediately after juicing.

The deep green juice is abundant with vitamins, minerals, enzymes, chlorophyll and vital life energy. It is intensely concentrated and benefits are seen with as little as one ounce a day.  

Effect of Chlorophyll in Wheatgrass

Wheatgrass Juice is one of the best sources of living chlorophyll available, Chlorophyll can be extracted from many plants, but wheatgrass is superior because it has been found to have over 100 elements needed by man. If grown in organic soil, it absorbs 92 of the known 102 minerals from the soil.         Wheatgrass is high in oxygen like all green plants that contain chlorophyll.  The brain and all body tissues function at an optimal level in a highly-oxygenated environment.  Chlorophyll is anti-bacterial and can be used inside and outside the body as a healer. Science has proven that chlorophyll arrests growth and development of unfriendly bacteria.  Chlorophyll (wheatgrass) rebuilds the bloodstream. The red cell count returned to normal within 4 to 5 days of the administration of chlorophyll, even in those animals which were known to be extremely anemic or low in red cell count. Sterile cows and bulls put them on wheatgrass to restore fertility, The high magnesium content in chlorophyll builds enzymes that restore the sex hormones.  Wheatgrass Juice is a superior detoxification agent compared to carrot juice and other fruits and vegetables. Researchers say that 15 pounds of Wheatgrass is the equivalent of 350 pounds of carrot, lettuce, celery, and so forth. Liquid chlorophyll washes drug deposits from the body and neutralizes toxins in the body.  Chlorophyll in Wheatgrass also helps to purify the liver and improves blood sugar problems.  Wheatgrass is the richest source of Chlorophyll and in the American Journal of Surgery (1940), Benjamin Gruskin, M.D. recommends chlorophyll for its antiseptic benefits. The article suggests the following clinical uses for chlorophyll i.e. to clear up foul smelling odors, to neutralize strep infections, to heal wounds, to hasten skin grafting, to cure chronic sinusitis, overcome chronic inner-ear inflammation and infection, reduce varicose veins and heal leg ulcers, to eliminate impetigo and other scabby eruptions, to heal rectal sores, to successfully treat inflammation of the uterine cervix, to get rid of parasitic vaginal infections, to reduce typhoid fever, and to cure advanced pyorrhea in many cases. Chlorophyll improves the functioning of the heart, affects the vascular system, the intestines, the uterus and the lungs. Toxicity studies have shown that   chlorophyll is absolutely non-toxic when administered orally or intravenously to animals and humans.
