How is Wheat Grass administered?
Wheat grass can be grown at home in small shallow pots. The wheat has to be sprouted first prior to sowing it. For a normal person about 100 grams of wheat grass per day are quite adequate to maintain positive health. Wheat grass can be chewed or drunk as a juice and it can also be administered as an enema. It is very important to note that the juice must be consumed as soon as it is extracted; otherwise the vital elements in the juice will lose its efficacy.
During the last ten or twenty years there has been a tremendous explosion of information in the scientific literature to support the use of natural medicine.
Wheat grass therapy teaches that is that it is nature, which cures the patient and not the physician. With the progress of civilization, we are perhaps violating the laws of nature and that is why there is an increase in disease. To be optimally effective, Wheat Grass Therapy must be combined with exercise, a stress free life and proper diet.
