Wheatgrass healing goes back thousands of years and is even mentioned in the Dead Sea Scrolls. The modern history of wheatgrass began in the 1930�s in the United States when considerable scientific research into the 'Grass Juice Factor' and other therapeutic and nutritional properties was undertaken. Medical research continues to this day, and the time may be approaching for the 'Grass Juice Factor' to be at last identified. Because of its apparent ability to stimulate production of human growth factors, this discovery could revolutionise many aspects of medical treatment and greatly enhance our understanding of the body's immune system and natural healing processes.
In the 1970's, Ann Wigmore started the wheatgrass juicing craze in the United States which ultimately led to a huge, nutrition-based industry which continues to spread worldwide.
