Grape therapy (original) (raw)

Grape therapy or grape diet, also known as ampelotherapy, is a diet that involves heavy consumption of grapes, including seeds, and parts of the vine, including leaves, that is a form of alternative medicine. The concept was developed in the 19th century Germany in spas like Bad Duerkheim or Merano. The concept has no scientific basis and is regarded as quackery by scientific institutions like the American Cancer Society.
