How to Use Wheatgrass Juice

Wheatgrass is grown in trays and then juiced with a special juicer called a Wheatgrass Juicer. You can purchase from us both electric and manual juicers. You cannot use a regular juicer unless it specifically says that it will juice Wheatgrass. Cut a handful of Wheatgrass at the base of the wheatgrass, and place tip down into the hole of the juicer and crank. The juice will come out one hole while the pulp will come out the other.

According to Ann Wigmore, Wheatgrass juice can be used as a nutritional supplement or it can be used as part of a healing regime.
As a nutritional supplement, drink 2-4 oz. of wheatgrass juice a day or ever other day is sufficient.
If you have a health issue, then you will need to drink 1-2 oz. up to 3-4 times a day.
Any food or herb taken every day, week after week, will lose its effectiveness. Discontinue drinking wheatgrass juice 2 days a week and one week per month.
The right way to use wheatgrass juice is in small amounts throughout the day on an empty stomach. It is best to start out the day thirty minutes before you eat, or 2 hours after you eat. Start with one ounce a day. Wheatgrass has a cleansing effect and may make you nauseous if you start with too much. Start slowly and work your way up.
Wheatgrass Juice can be mixed with other fruit and vegetable juices. Do not mix with citrus. Citrus kills enzymes and enzymes are one of the most important parts of wheatgrass juice. Think about it. You put citrus juice on bananas and other fruit and vegetables to keep them from turning brown. Enzymes is what turns fruits an vegetables brown.
Pineapple juice is not citrus and is an excellent chaser or mixer with wheatgrass juice. Apple juice is a good mixer. Wheatgrass juice can also be mixed with water half and half.
As with any nutritional program results will not be immediate. Depending on your past diet, and the changes you now make in your diet will determine how long it takes to see results.
Feed back from our customers indicate 4 oz. a day seems to give the best results. Our experiences indicates that it takes a week of drinking wheatgrass to feel the energizing effects.
