History of Wheatgrass Wheatgrass is represented in Naturopathy or Nature Cure - the ancient art of curing and preventing diseases by bringing about suitable changes in food and lifestyle without use of any chemical or formulated drugs, tablets, injections, operation, etc.

It is therefore referred to as ‘The drugless therapy’, which is safe and devoid of any harmful side effects.

Naturopathy is an alternative therapy which advocates that: • Our body has the inbuilt ability to heal itself when provided with proper , exercise and environment. We are born with a strong inbuilt resistance power (immunity). If it is preserved carefully, no disease would dare to attack us and we would live a healthy life. • The accumulation of harmful substances in the body (toxins) is the root cause of most illness. If we observe the way wild animals live, we realize that they do not have any ‘doctors’ to attend them when ill. They adhere to natural way of treatment when required. Simply, they follow naturopathy. Wild animals are observed to ‘fast’ without food and rest quietly when ill. Their wounds heal naturally due to mudpacks and sunlight. Wild boars are observed to lie in mud when wounded due to shots fired by hunters. Wild animals also visit ‘salt licks’, natural open rock salt, to supplement their body’s requirement of minerals. Even carnivorous animals such as Tigers, Cats and Dogs are seen nibbling on grasses, presumably when ill. Why Wheatgrass? In modern times, man is increasingly turning away from nature. His lifestyle is more un-natural and synthetic. Wrong living and eating habits, irregular life, addictions, lack of physical activity, pollution, stress and use of harmful drugs are the major factors that adversely affect the natural resistance of the body. The time has come to follow Mahatma Gandhi’s slogan ‘Go back to Nature’. He was a staunch supporter of Naturopathy and his teachings have inspired the establishment of many Nature Cure Centers all over India. The father of modern medical science and the great Greek philosopher Hippocrates, who lived about 2500 years ago, has rightly said ‘Let thy food be thy medicine’. People spend fortunes to get rid of ailments but fail to get relief. The reason behind this pathetic situation is that we never think of resigning ourselves to the almighty Nature. We simply ignore the health- giving herbs and created by Nature. There are natural remedies for cancer, diabetes and other severe diseases. Nature provides a wide variety of herbs and foods to fight with different ailments and diseases. Wheat grass is one such boon bestowed by Nature on man to make him healthy. Wheatgrass is a part of naturopathic medicine which can help to boost healing process through its excellent mixture of nutrients. Wheatgrass in Powder form is the most convenient, economical and efficient way of making its benefits readily available. Besides this, there are several reasons why wheatgrass is beneficial for all. Here are some of the reasons – • It serves as one of the effective natural remedies for diabetes. • Wheatgrass proves to be helpful for cancer patients. Along with other treatments, it lessens side effects of radiations and accelerates recovery. That is why; in the list of natural remedies for cancer, wheatgrass comes in the top. • It provides natural cure for hemorrhoids and other digestion related problems. • It increases red blood cells and a well-known and tested natural cure for Anemia.

It should be washed minimum and soaked for 2 to 3 hours before cooking it in a pressure cooker using the same water. 2) Rice soup: Follow the above method but add water 8 to 10 times the quantity of rice. Remove the rice to a side and the thick rice soup that is obtained is very nutritious.
