Wheatgrass extract is a rapid, highly effective hemostatic agent. If applied lightly over an injured area, it rapidly reduces and/or completely stops bleeding, apparently via ligands in the extract re-connecting peripheral cellular receptors to the brain. It also helps ease the surface pain due to trauma, burns etc., and prevents wound infection.
In this case, the tattooist, having evoked bleeding with a needle, sprays a little wheatgrass over the affected area, then wipes it clean to find that bleeding has stopped. To me, this is because ligands in the extract have reconnected dysfunctional cellular receptors to the brain.
Surgical and injury-caused bleeding can also be prevented, simply by applying wheatgrass extract to the injured area, before the procedure. This also helps prevent blood clotting and infection and accelerates healing of the wound.
It may seem strange that bleeding has stopped and hasn't returned? But how?
It appears to me, that the many ligands in the extract have blocked small blood vessels supplying the affected area, by reconnecting numerous cellular receptors in the injured area to the brain. The brain has then responded appropriately by preventing blood loss from the operating area. (I have observed this response many times.)
The extract is also very useful because of its ability to stop bleeding rapidly, yet restore blood flow when necessary. It can also be useful at sporting events, schools, etc. for treating minor injuries and relieving pain - even fracture pain. It is also more effective and productive than ice packs which actually slow blood circulation - which can slow the healing process.
