Description

Wheatgrass authority Li Smith describes the outstanding nutritive and therapeutic benefits of consuming wheatgrass juice. From a holistic perspective, she recounts the history of this amazing superfood and its importance within the spiritual traditions of many cultures. Li also offers home usage and growing instructions and presents a new cleansing and rejuvenation program, which incorporates wheatgrass, fresh fruits and vegetables, fermented foods, herbs and edible flowers.

More than a grain, wheatgrass offers the healing benefits of a primary 'sun-food', converting the sun's rays directly into chlorophyll as well as an abundance of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and enzymes -- all needed to enhance health and optimize health and well-being.

The story behind my book was my quest for better health. In 1978 I started growing wheatgrass and drinking wheatgrass juice. My health improved dramatically, and so did the health of my family and friends. I have witnessed many cases of dramatic healing among those consuming wheatgrass juice, including the reversal of high blood pressure, anemia, asthma and kidney dysfunction. I have appeared on South African television and in People magazine promoting wheatgrass as a therapeutic superfood.
