Abstract

Wheatgrass, or 'green blood,' provides oxygen to tissues and antioxidant enzymes, preventing oxidative DNA damage. The food is a natural remedy with high nutrient density, potentially boosting the immune system and providing pre-shielded protection. Research has also investigated its potential to inhibit cervical cancer cell growth. Wheatgrass juices contain high chlorophyll concentrations, as summer grass has more pigments. They are a popular health food with antioxidant properties and potential cancer-fighting properties. Wheatgrass juices are also a natural remedy with anti-inflammatory, detoxifying, and anti-arthritis benefits. This superfood, overall, contributes in many ways to Indian traditional knowledge systems comprising ayurveda, naturopathy, yoga, and nutrition, playing a significant role in healing processes and human values.
