Based on comprehensive scientific evidence and my own numerous clinical observations (>35,000) since 1995, wheatgrass and other cereal grasses appear to be capable of stimulating the activity of human growth factors. This process in turn facilitates the natural healing process in hemostasis and hemolysis, wound healing, fracture healing, inflammation and numerous other situations.
These pages provide information about some of the therapeutic benefits of a wheatgrass extract I have used extensively and successfully in clinical practice since 1995. The healing effects of wheatgrass are frequently attributed to chlorophyll, but I believe this hypothesis has little or no substance. The extract I use contains a barely detectable amount of chlorophyll, yet has a similar therapeutic profile as observed and recorded in numerous laboratory and clinical studies performed since the 1930's.
There are clearly (many) other biologically active factors at work.
