Wheat Grass Juice and Mother's Milk Have some Things in Common

As I have been blogging lately about "Living Foods" and yesterday's theme was "The Ultimate Living Food," mother's milk, I decided today to compare and comment on some of the similarities and similar uses of  Wheat Grass Juice and Mother's Milk.  Wheat grass juice and mother's milk both have many healing properties.  They are both nourishing, likely the two most nourishing drinks around..... I knew people who went on wheatgrass juice fasts.  Full of so many nutrients, they subsisted on that and water for a period of time, though the length of such fasts I no longer recall.  Of course babies up until 6 months subsist easily on only mother's milk.  Both mother's milk  and wheatgrass juice are helpful and strengthening to the immune system.... Both seem incredibly healing externally, as well as internally.... Both mother's milk  and wheatgrass juice are excellent first aid remedies... I have used both personally on cuts and at different times in my life, as an eye wash, when  I had problems, such as styes or other irritations.... Nature provides us amazing remedies that are not found in bottles... There are countless ways that both can be used and helpful, and if you have access to either, it is worth a try, though it is not a bad idea to research first if anyone has ever used it for specific uses / purposes before trying it....

So if your local natural food store sells wheat grass, or if you are interested in learning to grow it check out books such as the Wheatgrass Book by Ann Wigmore http://www.amazon.com/The-Wheatgrass-Book-Maximize-Vitality/dp/0895292343/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1341782895&sr=8-

So the focus on Ann Wigmore is just about done for now,  though tomorrow, I will share her recipe for seed cheese... After that we will once again branch out and vary topics a bit.... Though after all this talk about sprouting and living foods, I am inspired to reintroduce more of such foods into my diet and to my family.... My 8 year old is excited too and we have started purchasing some seeds, grains, and beans to sprout (the same ones we might cook, but with new intentions).  Future blog posts will detail our adventures in sprouting and recipes we create.  My daughter already has found the mini food processor and claimed it for her own living food pursuits.  Her creation today involved walnuts, sunflower seeds, dates, and apples, I believe, with a bit of water to blend.  I told her for tomorrow,  we will soak her seeds and dried fruit tonight. So stay tuned and I will share her daily adventures!
