Description of pharmacological action
The healing power of the oil for the skin is explained by its high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids and the antioxidant vitamin E, which, when applied to the face, exhibit strong regenerating, nourishing, moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, antitoxic and tonic properties. When using wheat germ oil to treat dermatitis, the effect is achieved in a matter of weeks: the inflammatory process subsides, the crusts are rejected, and the skin itself smoothes out and acquires an even matte color. The oil is also used for hemorrhoids to lubricate anal fissures, for eczema and psoriasis, burns to speed up the healing process and eliminate the inflammatory factor. The product occupies a worthy place in traditional medicine recipes: it is recommended to be used for daily care of dry, flaky, rash- and cracked, wrinkled skin, as well as in the form of masks for dry and split ends. A group of researchers has proven that when wheat germ oil is taken orally, it has a tonic and restorative effect, increases resistance to various infectious diseases and performance, and slows down the aging process of the body. Among other things, it normalizes metabolism, the functions of the endocrine glands, improves digestion and promotes the healing of erosions and ulcers of the stomach and duodenum. Gastroenterologists and therapists note a decrease in blood cholesterol levels and a decrease in the risk of cardiovascular pathology when using oil.
Beneficial features
The natural product contains essential amino acids that are not produced by the human body. These are tryptophan, leucine, methionine, etc. Also, the oily liquid obtained from wheat germ is replete with saturated and unsaturated fatty acids:
- linoleic - helps retain moisture, protects the skin from ultraviolet radiation and peeling, improves complexion;
- stearic - heals wounds and cracks in the epidermis;
- palmitic – provides a rejuvenating effect;
- oleic - relieves redness, eliminates irritation, smoothes wrinkles, etc.
Premature skin aging is prevented by phytosterols, which have the reputation of plant hormones. Allantoin calms inflammation, and a carbohydrate called squalene is a natural antiseptic and antioxidant. Vitamins (A, D, group B) and microelements (copper, sulfur, manganese, iron, potassium, iodine, etc.) do a lot of good for the beauty and health of the skin.
These substances activate the regeneration of the dermis and the production of collagen, elastin, help narrow pores, have a disinfecting effect, help fight acne, and enhance the protective functions of the skin. Vitamin E is known as an antioxidant, which is also responsible for the youth of the epidermis.
Natural wheat germ oil does not contain components that can harm the body. An exception is individual intolerance to certain components or use of the product contrary to existing contraindications.

Contraindications for use
Do not buy oil or wheat itself at the market.
Often, in order to stimulate the rapid germination of wheat, as well as to protect the crop from rodents, sellers treat it with pesticides.
Such a “modified” product can bring nothing but harm to health. Contraindicated:
- patients with stomach and duodenal ulcers;
- if you are allergic to gluten;
- all children under 12 years of age.
Signs of poisoning:
- weakness;
- dizziness;
- gas formation and diarrhea.
If these symptoms do not go away within 2-3 days, you should consult a doctor!
Storage conditions
We offer some tips on how to preserve beneficial properties:
- Buy wheat germ oil only in pharmacies. This way you can be sure that each grain has passed a quality test during its production and does not contain growth accelerators or pesticides.
- If you grow your own seeds, pay attention to the germination rate. If no changes have occurred in them in 2-3 days, then such grains should not be eaten. Just throw them away, don't regret it.
- It is not worth storing any oils for future use. The shelf life is not that long, and you can consume no more than 2 tablespoons per day.
- Sprouted seeds should be stored for no more than 2 days, always in the refrigerator.
- The oil is stored either in the refrigerator or in a cool, dark place.
- Darkened grains are unsuitable for food.
Interesting Facts
Sprouted wheat is a natural supplement with a balanced composition that ensures maximum absorption of the product. Thus, the body immediately receives material that is ready for absorption. It does not need to break down mineral compounds, vitamins, proteins, fats and carbohydrates, since they are already in an easily digestible form. While pharmaceutical drugs burden the body, requiring the breakdown of synthetic material.
At the moment of germination, protein substances concentrated in grains break down into amino acids, and subsequently into nucleotides. In this case, starch becomes maltose, and fats are transformed into valuable fatty acids. All components that are not assimilated by the human body are re-cleaved into bases from which nucleic acids are built, which serve as material for genes. Together with these transformations, mineral compounds, vitamins, and enzymes are actively synthesized.
Interestingly, sprouting increases the amount of nutrients in grains, increasing the nutritional value of the product [2]. Thus, the fat content increases from 2.2% to 10%, protein - from 20% to 26%, fiber from 10% to 17%. At the same time, the level of carbohydrates decreases from 64% to 34%. In addition to fortifying the body, regularly eating cereal increases free energy.
Eight reasons why to eat sprouted grains:
- In terms of enzyme content, cereal is 100 times superior to fresh vegetables and fruits. These compounds are protein catalyst molecules that accelerate body functions. By consuming more essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals and amino acids from sprouts, the body will begin to work much more efficiently.
- As wheat grains germinate, the quality of their protein increases. In particular, this concerns the amino acid lysine, which is necessary to maintain a healthy immune system and prevent the appearance of herpes.
- The amount of fiber increases. Dietary fiber helps break down fat, removes toxins and fats from the body, and promotes weight loss.
- The content of essential fatty acids in the cereal composition increases.
- The content of vitamins B, C, E increases.
- The absorption of mineral compounds is improved, since they are in an easily digestible form.
- The amount of energy reserves contained in sprouted cereal grains increases.
- Wheat sprouts alkalize the body, binding excess acid, which in 80% of cases leads to the development of diseases, in particular cancer.
Cereal grains are a common, cheap and very healthy product. They can be sprouted at home and be sure that they do not contain harmful additives or pesticides.
Conclusion
Why shouldn't you buy a cheap product? The thing is that in the production of just 3 liters of oil, it is necessary to process almost 100 kilograms of wheat germ. And from such an amount, when planted, 50 tons of millet could be obtained!
A low price only indicates an incorrect germination process, unscrupulous manufacturers and, as a result, poor quality. Saving in this case means saving on your health.
And again remember your grandmothers. Their recipes still help us today. More than one generation has experienced the powerful power of wheat germ oil, the power of nature during the most active period of development. Be grateful to the healing wheat, and your gratitude will certainly return, increased a hundredfold.
