Bathe With Wheat
Grass Juice
Wheat grass is grown from the sprouted seeds of winter wheat berries. Wheat grass juice is tremendously healthy for the body. It is considered a complete food because it contains most of the vitamins and minerals required for optimum health, including A, B, C, E, calcium, iron and potassium. Besides being healthy to consume, wheat grass juice has benefits when applied externally. You can even bathe with wheat grass to soften your skin or to treat eczema or psoriasis.
Instructions
1. Grow wheat grass at home by using shallow pans filled with 1 inch of soil and wheat berries. Set the pan in a east-facing window and water regularly. Allow the sprouts to grow at least 4 inches tall before you clip and use them. Alternatively, buy already sprouted wheat grass at a health food store.
2. Extract the juice from wheat grass with a juice extractor. You will need 20 to 30 oz. of wheat grass juice to add to bath water. If you don't have enough juice, save it in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator until you have enough juice to add to a bath. Alternatively, use commercially available wheat grass juice.
3. Draw a warm bath. Pour the wheat grass juice in the tub under the running water. Mix by swishing your hand in the water. Light candles and turn off the lights in the bathroom. Bathing with wheat grass juice should be a relaxing experience, and candlelight is more relaxing than harsh overhead lights.
4. Get into the bath and relax. Breathe deeply to reap the benefits of aromatherapy. After 10 minutes, use a cotton washcloth and gently rub your skin. The wheat grass will penetrate the skin and heal skin ailments.
5. Lie back again while the wheat grass cleanses your skin and relaxes your senses. Get out of the tub when the water is too cool for your comfort. Towel off by patting--not rubbing--your skin.
