History

During the 1940’s a lady by the name of Ann Wigmore healed herself of cancer from the weeds she found in vacant lots of Boston. She began a study of natural healing modalities — and with the help of a friend, Dr. Earp Thomas, she found that there are 4700 varieties of grass in the world and all are good for man. She arrived at the conclusion that Wheat Grass was the best — or the medicinal grass.
