Abstract

Plants have been utilized by humans throughout history for a variety of purposes, including sustenance and medicinal intentions. Since ancient times, wheatgrass has been utilized as a type of microgreen for therapeutic purposes. Phenolic flavonoids, vitamins, minerals, proteins and enzymes are all abundant in wheatgrass. These nutrients and bioactive substances enhanced wheatgrass's therapeutic efficacy and made it a powerful antioxidant agent for the treatment of a range of diseases. It has been shown to have a wide variety of pharmacological potentials, including an antioxidative potential that helps to neutralize free radicals, anti-cancer, anti-ulcer, anti-diabetic, anti-arthritic, anti-microbial action, and many more. However, there is a dearth of scientific evidence to back up wheatgrass's possible pharmacological effects and clinical value. To investigate its clinical utility for human welfare, in-depth research studies are needed. Through this analysis of the review literature, an attempt has been made to explain wheatgrass and its therapeutic potentials.

小麦草（Triticum aestivum）：神奇的微型绿色植物：概述

古往今来，人类利用植物来达到各种目的，包括维持生计和药用意图。自古以来，小麦草就作为一种微型绿色植物用于治疗目的。小麦草中含有丰富的酚类黄酮、维生素、矿物质、蛋白质和酶。这些营养物质和生物活性物质增强了小麦草的疗效，使其成为治疗一系列疾病的强效抗氧化剂。研究表明，小麦草具有多种药理潜能，包括有助于中和自由基的抗氧化潜能、抗癌、抗溃疡、抗糖尿病、抗关节炎、抗微生物作用等。然而，目前还缺乏科学证据来证明小麦草可能具有的药理作用和临床价值。要研究小麦草对人类福祉的临床效用，需要进行深入的调查研究。通过对综述文献的分析，我们试图解释小麦草及其治疗潜力。
