Ann Wigmore was born in Lithuania and although she had an unhealthy childhood, she was helped by her grandmother, the village ‘healer,’ who used nature’s own ‘pharmacy’ to keep her well. Ann became her grandmother’s assistant and learned as much as she could from her. Ann eventually moved to Massachusetts to join her parents.

In 1961, she founded the Hippocrates Health Institute to teach people about the power of living foods. Her sprouting techniques were unique and effective. In this video she demonstrates how to sprout sunflowers, wheatgrass, and buckwheat. She also shows how to compost kitchen scraps and grow vegetables indoors. She was an advocate of a raw foods, micro greens, and nutrient-dense, enzyme-rich, living foods. Initially she advocated juicing sprouts and vegetables, but later shifted her approach to blending foods in order to preserve helpful digestive fiber.

The legacy of Ann Wigmore and Hippocrates Health Institute is carried on by several organizations.
