How to Drink Wheatgrass

"Chew your drink and drink your food"
Juicing wheatgrass... What a perfect start and ending, or middle
for that matter, to your day.
If you are going to drink your food, this is the perfect meal
idea.
Drinking wheatgrass juice is like oxygen therapy...
There are many schools of thought on drinking wheatgrass. My Mom
says, ... “anyway you can get it down.” My Dad says, ... “straight
shot.”
The ultimate way to juice: (however, this is not what all of us
can do, so I've also added some alternatives) :)
Start with one ounce a day. Sip and mix with the saliva in your
mouth and swallow (if this isn't for you, then just hold it in your
mouth for a bit before swallowing). Be sure to drink on an empty
stomach. If you need to, chase it down with some water or mix with a
small amount of water. (see our recipe page). Do not eat anything
for at least 20 minutes after drinking juice. I like to sit and
drink my juice slowly. Everyone is different. Others like to gulp
it.
Slowly increase your intake to 2-3 ounces, or more, a day. If you
are healing or suffering from an illness, up your ounces to 6 a day
(2-3oz. per sitting), taken throughout the day.
Your energy level can be very high after drinking wheatgrass
juice. You may notice you have clarity around certain things that
you've been foggy about. You also may notice more joy in your life
(this statement has not been evaluated by the FDA, only by me.) This
is LIVE food folks. Energy levels are very high in live food. It
actually vibrates!
Wheatgrass juice is a powerful cleanser and may cause nausea,
through starting an immediate reaction with toxins and mucus in the
stomach. There are also many schools of thought about nausea. I
believe it is toxins in your body. Others say mold, or bad grass.
You decide for yourself.
The juice should be extracted by utilizing a slow action machine.
Some manual juice extractors are very good for this purpose. (see
our juicer for sale)
You may also apply a wheatgrass poultice to an affected area of
the body (what else to do with your wheatgrass).
This form of using wheatgrass pulp is not widely known, but it is
becoming another one of my missions.
Wheatgrass can be grown year round in any apartment or house,
city or country. (stuff to buy for growing your own) I love having
it growing in my house, great for putting out oxygen, but for my
small house, it's just not feasible to grow enough to have for me to
drink every day. So, I started a business where I can take home my
grass from work. And I have grass for all of you!
Wheatgrass is alive and feeds oxygen to your body. So breathe it
in and drink it down...
