THE PROCESS

To derive the maximum advantage of this process, first of all the body should be cleared of the existence of the toxic elements. Hence it is essential to start some measures to achieve the best results which include total fasting for a couple of days, taking only water or juices or liquids. Along with these it is also necessary to empty bowls with the help of an enema. During this period only warm water should be taken. Thereafter take only raw food for a couple of days. Raw food may include sweet and sour fruits, sprouted grains, cereals and pulses etc. These measures considerably flush the body of the toxic elements. Following these measures the wheat grass intake may be launched systematically.

There are two methods of starting this regimen. One is to chew grass and other is to extract its juice by crushing it and taking its juice. Each of these methods has its benefits. These have been briefly discussed below. You may have your choice according to your temperament and liking.

Chewing the wheat grass allows the saliva to mix with it in the mouth itself. Thereby partially starting the digestive process in its very initial stage. After the grass is chewed thoroughly, the residual fibers waste should be spat out. If some of the residual fibers also travel down to the stomach there is no need to get worried, for they, too, are beneficial to the system. Wheat grass fibers prevent and cure constipation. Besides chewing the wheat grass gives the teeth a good exercise and consequently teeth also become strong and clean, as chlorophyll contained in the wheat grass also prevents tooth decay.

Most of the people who launch the wheat grass therapy are generally patient suffering from chronic to serious diseases. They need medicinal substances contained in the wheat grass in abundance. Generally their bodies are a store house of toxic substances due to their faulty eating and living habits. So if those accumulated toxic elements have to be removed quickly it is essential to give them a large dosage of wheat grass. Under such circumstances, it is advisable to prefer administering wheat grass substances to them in the juice form. Compared to solid form, juice can be taken in a larger quantity and that too more easily. It is generally difficult to administer a larger dosage through chewing of the wheat grass. Besides that it is very time consuming too. Very few people have the necessary time and patience to go through this process. Some people even find its taste unpalatable. To chew the grass slowly and allow its juice to go down the throat is often felt to be a boring task by many people. Moreover, the fibrous waste going down along with the juice causes heaviness in the stomach and hampers the digestive process too.

So it is purely the user’s choice to adopt to which regimen. There is no harm in shifting mid-way to the other regimen. What is required is a fair and judicious combination of both the ways to get the maximum advantage of this therapy.
