I buy fresh wheatgrass juice at Whole Foods a few times a week. I love it. I feel it detoxes my liver, help control body odor and eliminates bad breath. I've been taking a shot for years now. Oh and my skin looks great considering I live in Florida and am out in the sun a lot!

I wanted to make sure wheatgrass was listed since in this day and age things are more available so we use this as one for our family remedies.
I use wheatgrass juice for:
1. Insomnia - must take it seconds before tucking into bed and closing your eyes, if using it in a capsuled form (powdered) then you have about 5-10 minutes before you must be in bed eyes closed beginning to sleep, the result is a deep unbroken and healthy sleep from which you wake up energized and clear headed. For some this takes up to 3-4 days.
2. Acne, my daughter had infant acne and some minor rash like effect on her back and legs, going and coming but never leaving completely. After several weeks of using 1/2 a shot this went away, my daughter likes veggies even more than before and even asks for wheatgrass juice or other veggie juices.
3. My wife had rough skin that seemed to harden into tiny little hard points and she was getting more and more self conscious about it. When we started our daughter (#2 above) on wheatgrass juice I insisted she use some to and this slowly turned this rough skin around and now its smoother than ever.
4. My wife used to take all sort of greens and get stomach aches no matter how little or what brand and when we finally tried wheatgrass juice she said she got no aches, no pains and she loved how easy it was to take and the energy she herself got.
5. Minor cuts and wounds can be cleaned out with it.
6. On farms when cows are infertile or bulls are shooting blanks they use wheatgrass juice and 80-90% of the cattle become fertile again.
A friend called me up and mentioned that my suggestion to use wheatgrass juice got her in trouble. She had one of her employees use it for about a week and that employee got pregnant. The employee said she had been trying to conceive for over a year and finally gave up and after a week on wheatgrass juice almost immediately conceived. She asked me if that could happen and I told her about the common remedy for infertile cattle.
... I could go on and I'll add more but this is what I can do for now.

Energy Buzz

I went through a wheatgrass phase a few years ago after trying a few shots at a Whole Foods juice bar. Whew! Nasty tasting stuff, but the energy buzz you get from it is amazing. I decided that it was cheaper to start making my own wheatgrass juice and bought a stainless steel wheatgrass juicer (hand cranked) from some shop somewhere... can't even remember now! Then I also bought the wheatgrass seeds (wheat berries) from Whole Foods.. very cheap. Took a couple of weeks to grow, then I was on my way to juicing. I was so into it, I even tried (ha ha) a wheatgrass enema, which I had read about online. It was intense! My grow-your-own wheatgrass phase lasted about 2 growing cycles, then I gave up on it.
P.S. Never take it on an empty stomach first thing in the morning. You will pay the price!
Fresh Vs Powdered

Hello and thank you for this great site! I was wondering if using powdered wheatgrass (instead of the grass itself) will give as good results. I am interested in using to improve my overall skin condition. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

General Feedback

Hi, I was going to buy some wheat grass online, one of them states "100% whole leaf powder... not from juice" the one other states " Unlike whole leaf powders our wheat grass is gently juiced and spray-dried under low temperatures.
Does anyone have anyone have guidelines as regards which is best when purchasing wheat grass , ie freeze dried, shots, powder form vs. juiced, active enzymes etc.
I am quite confused from all the various product descriptions. Thanks

Best to wheatgrass on empty stomach first thing in the morn and last thing at night. In the morn, wait for half hour to an hour after consumption to eat. I no longer get ob. I take wheatgrass daily - wheat grass JUICE powder. Mix with coconut water. I am working on cure. I also juice organic veggies daily.

I read that wheatgrass can elimiinate herpes completely so I tried this and have found that the virus has never came back. This was when I used to take Valtrax and still get the virus. A good article on the virus and wheatgrass can be found at

Feedback on Wheat Grass and HSV: I heard about the benefits of wheat grass and decided to grow my own and I bought the spring seeds, they were not as strong tasting as the winter wheat seeds. It took about 2 weeks from seed to harvest and I began taking 2oz. Or around 60ml a day, every day. Within 3 months I noticed I had not had an hsv outbreak since I began the wheatgrass. All the food products that seem to cause hsv ob, I was able to eat, I love nuts, but have not been able to eat them for years. Now, it didn't seem to be a problem. I wasn't sure if I was cured or if the wheatgrass was just keeping the ob from happening. Winter came and I stopped taking the wheatgrass. The outbreaks came back. Not as bad, but they are there. I'm going to continue wheatgrass again, because I was enjoying not having to worry about what was in foods that someone else prepared. It was very freeing. Wheatgrass straight, does not taste great, but chased with pear juice, apple juice or carrot juice, it is palatable and the benefits out way the taste. Most juice bars serve wheat grass, you just don't know how fresh the cut grass is. I hope this post is most helpful. Take care and God bless

High Blood Pressure
Posted by Jaype (Nha Trang, Vietnam) on 12/04/2012
Hi Ted, I have been reading most of the posts and your replies (thanks so much for sharing your knowledge, time and experience) and I will certainly give a try to some of yours suggestions (Bicarbonate citrus lime). But before I do so, I need to ask you a few more questions.
1. I recently read a lot about wheat grass. It is very popular here in Asia (Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand). But what I read about is what the companies or distributors say, of course they highly praise their product. I am 68 and since a month I have high blood pressure (up to 140-150). It's family history. I would like to know if I could really find relieve with wheat grass(I don't mention brand names)
2. One the Google ad on this site suggests another solution: Detoxifying the liver and kidneys. Would I find relieve with this? (Again, I don't mention the name)
For the first time of my life I feel I am at a very, very important crossroad. I now need to take the right turn. To help you better understand my situation: Alcohol, although I quit reasonable taking, was surely an issue. I tried several times to lose weigh without success (now 80kg). I don't smoke and do regular biking and walking. I take one aspirin a day, and my diet is mainly fruits and vegies (I removed a lot of meat from my menu). I love extra virgin olive oil, one homemade yogurt a day and homemade bread. I don't know what else to change.
Before I decide to spend too much money with any miracle solution (grass or detox), I would like to know if what you propose (Bicarbonate citrus lime) would be sufficient in my case or whoever in a similar situation. Should I go for grass or detox?
Thanks for your precious advises, Good bless.

Lowers FSH Levels
Posted by Deb (Melbourne, Australia) on 11/23/2010

Thanks for a great site. Here is my contribution. A couple of years ago I was taking wheatgrass capsules (5 per day) as well as the ocassional fresh wheatgrass shot. I was having blood tests monthly for fertility issues and my FSH at the start was 15. Three months later (with the FSH going slowly down) my FSH was 3.67. Drs say you can't lower your FSH. Interestingly my libido came back and my vaginal dryness ended (still has not come back. I suspect it has something to do with the FSH levels in the body. Wheatgrass also caused my hair to start returning to my natural colour. I have noticed that the super greens don't have the same effect on my hair as now it is going grey again. I am about to start taking wheatgrass again.
Wheatgrass Enemas

Wheat grass besides drinking..A place In San Diego cures Cancer with the implant of wheatgrass juice via Enema.. It cleans your insides.You can see the layer after layer of crude that has accumulated on the walls of your inside..Gets your inside breathing and absorbing the good food you give to it. Good for gals Douche.. It is very sensitive liquid.. Put into your eyes, your nose, your ears.. Heals everything. Also if you have growth on your body that is not healing.. Take the pulp of the wheatgrass.. Put over the growth.. attache with masking tape.. few days latter growth gone. People go to this health Institute.. I think Ann Wigmore had something to do with this place in the fourties.. People go there for last resort.. when Doctors says you have one month to live.. Most of those people are alive today because of the wheatgrass.. I have been twice to this place for a tune up. Maybe that why I do not have a pain in my body at 83yrs.. also my bone density normal.. only taking HA pill that reverses the aging process.. Health #1 Alfred

Wheatgrass Feedback
Posted by Lisa (Jackson, Ms. USA ) on 01/20/2009

I have not yet tried this but a friend shared this info with me recently:
Reading the Wheatgrass Book from Ann Wigmore, I want to share with you this incredible discovery :
----
Page 62
Chapter " ARE YOU PROTECTED FROM THE HAZARDS OF MODERN LIVING? "
"A few years ago, I ( Ann Wigmore ) asked Dr. GH Earp Thomas of the Bloomfield Laboratories in High Bridge, New Jersey, to do an experiment for me. He placed a small amount of wheatgrass juice in a jar of regular tap water and he tested it for fluoride and other chemicals present in the water...
Both of us were surprised by the results!
He concluded, "Fluorine rapidly combines with calcium phosphate and other kinetic elements to lose its toxic properties, and harden teeth and bones. that is why fresh grass would act as a catalyst to speedily change the acid fluorine into a beneficial component with a positive reaction...
By using wheatgrass, which is comparatively rich in calcium phosphate, it would remove any free fluoric acid and change its negative charge to an alkaline calcium phosphate fluoride combination with a positive reaction"
I was amazed (Ann Wigmore )
not only did wheatgrass neutralize the toxic effect of fluorine but it converted it into an ally in maintaining healthy bones and teeth! I don't recommend that you drink tap water, though; pure spring or purified water taste better and is much better for you. But if you cannot obtain spring or purified water, pour a little wheatgrass juice into regular tap water, and it will make it more healthful..."
