The Internet is full of claims about the different uses of wheatgrass, other than drinking as a healthy juice. It’s hard to know what is actually factual and what is malarkey. We decided to do some experiments here at the Rhibafarms office. Our first experiment is to see if wheatgrass juice will relieve insect bites.
Melissa in our office was haveing an itch frenzy from her recent mosquito bites. That is her over to the right, looking frustrated with her mosquito bites. We juiced up some wheatgrass and applied it to a bandage. The bandage was taped onto her skin and left for about an hour. Melissa reported imediate relief and the itching subsided for about 6 hours!
Looks like this experiment was a sucess and itch relief can be added as another arrow into wheatgrass’s quiver of uses. Next post we will be taking up the challange of wheatgrass as a breath freshiner. Stay tuned.
