Carrot juice
The carrot is one of the most efficient of all cleansing foods. It is also one of the richest sources of beta-carotene out of which the liver synthesises vitamin A. Besides, carrots are rich in potassium, sodium, calcium (and hence are highly alkaline). They also contain traces of iodine and sulphur and a good proportion of almost all of the vitamins. It is one of the best sources of Vitamin B-complex as it contains niacin, pyridoxine, folic acid, biotin and pantothenic acid. The high carbohydrate content of carrots makes them one of the most effective means of changing the intestinal flora from a putrefactive to a non-putrefactive form.
The most important benefit of carrot juice is undoubtedly its strong alkalinity which purifies and revitalises the blood. In the treatment of most diseases the natural way, it is recognised that the acidic condition of the system is a major contributory factor for disease. The central aim of cleansing therapy is that first acidosis must be corrected and the tissues be afforded the correct blood-pH so that they can be in a position to heal themselves. Carrot juice, with its rapid alkalising effect, thus helps in controlling anaemia, liver trouble, acidosis, blood poisoning, circulatory disorders and ulcers. The same alkalising effect is responsible for the cure of a variety of other ailments such as gall stones and gout which can be mitigated by the removal of unwanted uric acid from the blood.
Here are some more benefits of carrot juice:
* Carrots have also been found to contain a plant hormone called tocokinin. This is closely analogous to insulin and has proved to be beneficial for diabetics.
* Rheumatic ailments, which are often a result of poor nutrition, respond well to carrot juice.
* Its diuretic action helps in scanty urination and is a strong food-medicine to prevent nephritis.
* Carrot juice is also an excellent anti-bacterial agent due to its high content of vitamin E. This helps in the treatment of chronic cases of enteritis.
* Certain alternative treatment plans for cancer, especially splenic leukemia, utilise the powerful effect carrot juice has on the blood. The combination of vitamins it contains has also been found to be a working anti-oxidant defense against free radical damage.
* Carrot juice can be used not just for therapeutic purposes, but also for the general toning up of the system. It combats fatigue, builds resistance to infections, and functions as a protector of the nervous system.
* It is also an excellent beauty formula - a natural roug‚ which works from the inside by purifying the blood. Dry and rough skin can be provided with the missing nutrients and pristine complexion can be regained in a matter of weeks.
Since carrot is a seasonal food, it often becomes difficult or unaffordable to buy them in large quantities. Try not to skimp on your budget when it comes to buying the kilos of carrots required for your family. With fewer ailments you shall have fewer doctor's bills. In the long run your healthy complexion, strong teeth, unimpaired vigor and vitality, vigorous mental reactions and your happy smile will more than make up for the few extra rupees you have to spend for buying the off-season fruit.

How to make wheatgrass juice
How to make wheatgrass juice? Simple.
Take about 100 gm of wheat grain and plant them in a soil bed contained in a large tray.
Five such assemblies will provide you with a weekly supply of fresh wheatgrass.
Within 7 days the green shoots would have reached a considerable length, and the juice can be extracted by crushing them, adding some water during the grinding process.
Strain the liquid, and consume it right away, ideally on an empty stomach.
Starting with 25 ml/day, gradually increase your intake to 100 ml/day.
You can add a dash of orange or apple juice or lime juice if you find it a little too pungent.

Wheatgrass juice
Wheatgrass juice will provide you with more energy by fulfilling nutritional
deficiencies and by removing wastes that clog your cells, blood, tissues and organs. I firmly
believe that even so called "healthy" people can live their lives at an even higher level of energy
and mental concentration. We have all read the horror stories concerning environmental hazards
that our bodies are subjected to as a result of our highly developed industrial and technical
lifestyles: all forms of pollution (air, water, sound, etc.); chemicals in our food and water; radiation
given out by televisions, computers, and other high-tech machines; and so on. When the body is
subjected to these hazards it loses its balance, resulting in loss of energy, inability to
concentrate, and depression, not to mention other more devastating degenerative conditions. It
has been scientifically shown that wheatgrass juice neutralizes these environmental toxins,
allowing the body to balance itself and operate at maximum efficiency.
FORTY POINTS ABOUT WHEATGRASS AND ITS NUTRITIONAL VALUES
Wheatgrass juice is one of the best sources of living chlorophyll available.
Chlorophyll is the first product of light and, therefore, contains more light energy than any other element.
Wheatgrass juice is a crude chlorophyll and can be taken orally and as a colon implant without toxic side effects.
Chlorophyll is the basis of all plant life.
Wheatgrass is high in oxygen like all green plants that contain chlorophyll. The brain and all body tissues function at an optimal level in a highly-oxygenated environment.
Chlorophyll is anti-bacterial and can be used inside and outside the body as a healer.
Dr. Bernard Jensen says that it only takes minutes to digest wheatgrass juice and uses up very little body energy.
Science has proven that chlorophyll arrests growth and development of unfriendly bacteria
Chlorophyll (wheatgrass) rebuilds the bloodstream. Studies of various animals have shown chlorophyll to be free of any toxic reaction. The red cell count was returned to normal within 4 to 5 days of the administration of chlorophyll, even in those animals which were known to be extremely anaemic or low in red cell count.
Farmers in the Midwest who have sterile cows and bulls put them on wheatgrass to restore fertility. (The high magnesium content in chlorophyll builds enzymes that restore the sex hormones).
Chlorophyll can be extracted from many plants, but wheatgrass is superior because it has been found to have over 100 elements needed by man. If grown in organic soil, it absorbs 92 of the known 102 minerals from the soil.
Wheatgrass has what is called the grass-juice factor, which has been shown to keep herbivorous animals alive far longer than would be expected.
Dr. Ann Wigmore has been helping people get well from chronic disorders for 30 years using wheatgrass.
Liquid chlorophyll gets into the tissues, refines them and makes them over.
Wheatgrass juice is a superior detoxification agent compared to carrot juice and other fruits and vegetables. Dr. Earp-Thomas, associate of Ann Wigmore, says that 15 pounds of wheatgrass is the equivalent of 350 pounds of carrot, lettuce, celery and so forth.
Liquid chlorophyll washes drug deposits from the body.
Chlorophyll neutralises toxins in the body.
Chlorophyll helps purify the liver.
Chlorophyll improves blood sugar problems.
In the American Journal of Surgery, 1940, Benjamin Gruskin, M.D. recommends chlorophyll for its antiseptic benefits. The article suggests the following clinical uses for chlorophyll to clear up foul smelling odours, neutralise strep infections, heal wounds, hasten skin grafting, cure chronic sinusitis, overcome chronic inner-ear inflammation and infection, reduce varicose veins and heal leg ulcers, eliminate impetigo and other scabby eruptions, heal rectal sores, successfully treat inflammation of the uterine cervix, get rid of parasitic vaginal infections, reduce typhoid fever, and cure advanced pyorrhoea in many cases.
Wheatgrass juice heals acne and even removes scars after it has been ingested for seven to eight months. The diet must be improved at the same time.
Wheatgrass juice acts as a detergent in the body and is used as a body deodorant.
A small amount of wheatgrass juice in the human diet prevents tooth decay.
Wheatgrass juice held in the mouth for 5 minutes will eliminate toothaches. It pulls poisons from the gums.
Gargle wheatgrass juice for a sore throat.
Drink wheatgrass juice for skin problems such as eczema or psoriasis.
Wheatgrass juice keeps the hair from greying.
Pyorrhea of the mouth: Lay pulp of wheatgrass soaked in juice on diseased area in mouth or chew wheatgrass, spitting out the pulp.
By taking wheatgrass juice, one may feel a difference in strength, endurance, health and spirituality - and experience a sense of well-being.
Wheatgrass juice improves digestion.
Wheatgrass juice is high in enzymes.
Wheatgrass juicr is an excellent skin cleanser and can be absorbed through the skin for nutrition. Pour green juice over your body in a tub of warm water and soak for 15-20 minutes, rinse with cold water.
Wheatgrass implants (enemas) are great for healing and detoxifying the colon walls. The implants also heal and cleanse the internal organs. After an enema, wait 20 minutes then implant 4 ounces of wheatgrass juice. Retain for 20 minutes.
Wheatgrass juice is great for constipation and keeping the bowels open. It is high in magnesium.
Dr. Birscher, a research scientist, called chlorophyll 'concentrated sunpower'. He believes that chlorophyll increases the function of the heart, affects the vascular system, the intestines, the uterus and the lungs.
According to Dr. Birscher, nature uses chlorophyll (wheatgrass) as a body cleanser, re-builder and neutraliser of toxins.
Wheatgrass juice can dissolve the scars that are formed in the lungs from breathing acid gasses. The effect of carbon monoxide is minimised since chlorophyll increases haemoglobin production.
Wheatgrass juice reduces high blood pressure and enhances the capillaries.
Wheatgrass juice can remove heavy metals from the body.
Wheatgrass juice is great for blood disorders of all kinds.

Tips for Breast Feeding moms
I almost ran out of milk supply due to stress and various reasons. This is what I did in order to boost my milk production.
1. Pumped atleast twice a day. Believe me this is very effective.
2. Had fenugreek and fennel.
3. Please DO NOT eat bitter gourd while lactating as this may reduce blood sugar in the baby which may lead to coma.
