Wheatgrass was famously used in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Foods that help accomplish this include Wheatgrass and, indeed, any other foods with a high chlorophyll content. A surprising fact about chlorophyll is that its molecular structure is almost identical to that of haemoglobin, a critical part of human blood.
The only difference is their central atom which is iron for haemoglobin and magnesium for chlorophyll - in the body it performs the same function as haemoglobin, which is to oxygenate the blood. Today Wheatgrass is popularly used as a superfood with numerous health benefits. Wheatgrass contains more than 90 minerals, including potassium, calcium, magnesium and sodium as well as essential enzymes and 19 amino acids.
