Chlorophyll is the pigment that gives plants their green colour and enables them to produce their own food through photosynthesis.
Chlorophyll is "the main component of green bodies of plants, enabling the conversion of sunlight into chemical energy". "Healing with Whole Foods" Paul Pitchford
Internal cleansing with chlorophyll is a matter of health, cosmetics and aesthetics.
It is a fascinating substance with many documented health effects. Barley and Chlorella are the most significant nutritional sources of chlorophyll on Earth. We can use their positive influence not only as a part of an internal application but also as an external one.
Chlorophyll is a remarkable substance, and only Chlorella contains one of the highest concentrations found in any food. Chlorella is beneficial for various conditions, thanks to chlorophyll's purifying, renewing, and anti-inflammatory properties.
ANTIBACTERIAL ACTION
Chlorophyll has bacteriostatic properties, meaning it inhibits the growth of bacteria, particularly anaerobic species. This makes it beneficial for use in treating chronic and deep wounds, where bacterial growth is more common.
HEALING WOUNDS
Green plants have been used to heal wounds since ancient times. Chlorophyll promotes tissue granulation and epithelization (epithelialization), reduces itching, pain, and suppuration, and reduces the unpleasant odour of chronic wounds. It works well for external injuries as well as internal wounds or inflammations, such as gingivitis, gastritis, or intestinal inflammation.
ANTICANCER EFFECTS
Chlorophyll captures carcinogens from the gut, suppresses different types of chemical reactions to cancer-causing disease, and makes it difficult for cancer cells to multiply. Barley and Chlorella, together with other substances contained in them, contribute to the prevention of different cancers and help the body treat them.
DEODORIZING EFFECT
The deodorizing effect of chlorophyll was discovered in the 1940s. Chlorophyll is effective in helping with bad breath and periodontitis, mostly in patients with a stoma or in excessive sweating, and the associated unpleasant odour. The deodorizing effect has been documented for external application and internal use.
PROTECTION AGAINST RADIATION
Chlorophyll helps protect healthy cells from the effects of radiation and plays a role in repairing damaged DNA. However, the protective effects of chlorophyll and similar compounds found in Green Food do not extend to cancer cells. In fact, with cancer cells, chlorophyll appears to support their destruction.
My diet was always full of healthy vegetables although since I am using chlorella and barley I have noticed a magnificent change in my digestion, energy levels, the quality of my skin, and improvement in my underactive thyroid disease ( Hypothyroidism). I use it also externally as an application straight on open cuts or wounds. It does speed up the process of healing. However, it is essential to mention that the reaction of barley powder on the open wound could be much more painful than chlorella. The reason is that in barley there are lots of living enzymes that make it more lively and active during the healing process. But either way, I prefer to use this natural solution over anything else. It often reminds me of my childhood when my grandmother's medicine cabinet was full of herbs and natural ingredients. :)
