WHEATGRASS
I HAVE READ THAT THIS PRODUCT GIVES US, SO MANY NUTRIENTS...FOR OUR BODIES.

Introduction:

Wheatgrass is the freshly sprouted shoots of grains of wheat. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is used interchangeably with barley grass. The tender young shoots of freshly sprouted barley or wheat seeds were used to treat diseases of the "spleen," or poor digestion, but also "stagnation of the liver," conditions characterized by an inability to respond to the emotional environment, usually depression after chronic anger or disappointment. Wheat grass is grown by soaking the seeds in clean water for 6-12 hours until they sprout and grow shoots approximately 2 inches (5 cm) long. Barley grass provides a broader ranger of nutrients, but wheat grass has a superior content of antioxidants and organic phosphates. Wheatgrass sprouting seeds themselves are a wonderful addition to any diet. As above, soak the seeds for 6-12 hours, rinse the water out, and dry thoroughly. This should be repeated at least 3 times, but may be repeated more if you want your seeds to get larger. Make sure they are very dry the last round of soak/rinse as they will keep better in the refrigerator the dryer to the touch that they are.

Constituents:

Quercetin, rutin, organic phosphates.

Parts Used:

The dried unjointed leaf. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, wheat grass may be "massed" or fermented before drying.

Typical Preparations:

A level tablespoon (3-4 grams) of powder added to teas, smoothies, or cereals, daily. Sometimes found in encapsulations.

Summary:

Wheat sprouts contain a very high level of organic phosphates and a powerful cocktail of antioxidant molecules. According to research recently published in the Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology, the antioxidant activity of catalase and peroxidase appears very strong. Addition of a small amount of wheat grass powder to food is known to prevent cataracts in aging dogs, and may have a similar effect in people. Wheatgrass juice has been called by some the "ultimate blood purifier", and according to available research data, this may very well be true.

Precautions:

Like barley grass, wheat grass may reduce lactation in nursing mothers.

ALLOPATHY & HOMEOPATHY




THE COTTAGE PHYSICIAN

Original 1895 First Edition of “The Cottage Physician for Individual and Family Use; Prevention, Symptoms and Treatment. Best known methods in all Diseases, Accidents and Emergencies of the Home, Prepared by The Best Physicians and Surgeons of Modern Practice.

Springfield Mass :: Measures 7 x 8 3/4" :: Complete with 642 Pages.

VERY CONDITION: A tightly bound volume, very minor cracking to front hinge, generally clean pages, complete with all pages and illusrations. An excellent copy for this rare 18th Century Victorian Guide.

The Cottage Physician was intended to be a practical home medical book to prevent sickness, promote health, to diminish human suffering, and to lessen the expense of maintaining the blessing of health in home. Technical names and medical phrases have been studiously avoided or carefully interpreted, and the entire work stripped of that cloud of mystery which characterizes other books of similar nature. This volume will be found so broad in its scope of information, so simple in language, so clear in expression, and so comprehensive that even those of very limited knowledge will find it a never ending-failing guide in promoting health, curing disease, and in the emergencies of the home. The practical instructions for the home range from Medical Cures, Homeopathic Remedies, Homeopathic Prescriptions, Hydropathic Treatment, Medicines, Antidotes, Disinfectants, Patent Medicine Recipes, Ointments, Mineral Waters Possessing Healing Virtues, Food, Toilet Remedies, Household Memoranda, and much much more!
