About Ann Wigmore
and Her Journey to
Wheatgrass Juicing for
Natural Healing, and the
Living Foods
Lifestyle®
"I see a world without
sickness, sorrow, or mental
disturbance in which we are
living in perfect balance,
abundance, health and
harmony." -- Dr. Ann
Wigmore
Ann Wigmore
was born in Cropos,
Lithuania on March 4,
1909. In 1925, at the
age of 16, she moved to
America to join her
parents, who were
already living in
Massachusetts.
She married
and later gave birth to
a daughter, but it was
only after the end of
her marriage in 1955
that her life vision
began to take shape. In
poor health, she began
using weeds and
wheatgrass juicing to
heal herself. Over the
course of the next 35
years, she promoted
natural healing via her
schools in Boston, The
Hippocrates Health
Institute, which opened
in 1963, and The Ann
Wigmore Foundation,
begun in Boston in
1985. Her brilliant,
long-lived career
included lecturing,
writing, and giving
wheatgrass
demonstrations in over
35 countries.
Her untimely
death in Boston on
February 16, 1994, was
due to smoke inhalation
from a fire at the Ann
Wigmore Foundation. Ann
Wigmore's contribution
as a humanitarian,
educator, writer, and
tireless promoter of
natural health lives on
here at the Ann Wigmore
Foundation in San
Fidel, New
Mexico.
Dr. Ann
Wigmore is known for
healing the natural way
through a diet of
organic, raw, living
foods. She is among
other famous
naturopaths and
alternative medicine
advocates such as
Herbert Shelton and
Viktoras Kulvinskas.
Through a diet of raw
foods, sprouting,
dehydration, and
vegetarian and
fruitarian living,
anchored in weeds and
wheatgrass juicing, Dr.
Ann Wigmore healed
herself and promoted
natural healing
worldwide. Her legacy
