Barley is one of the most economical cereal grains that has been around since ancient times, and is a boon in curing diseases and maintaining good health. Its core molecule is beta-glucan, which is also found in oat bran, and is an insoluble fibre. It is a good source of manganese, copper, selenium, and phosphorus.
I, for one, have experienced its benefits immensely during my pregnancy, when I drank barley water almost daily, to relieve me of gastritis, constipation, and swelling of the feet due to water retention.
The second time that I was extremely grateful to boiled and cooled barley water was during my son’s first year teething. The doctor advised it to flush out toxins during his terrible diarrhoea. It worked wonderfully well. I instantly prepared and gave it when his molars started erupting, and the same signs stomach infections began, this time more manageable.
Health benefits of barley include:
Treats Gastritis
Kidney cleansing
Treats cystitis (urinary bladder inflammation), and urinary tract infections
Effective diuretic, induces urination, thereby flushing out toxins
Prevents cancer, prevents harmful elements in the body
Cures constipation
Cleanses skin and stops wrinkle formation
Believe to aid in healthy bones, so useful in arthritis
Treat cough, pharyngitis, throat inflammation
During diarrhoea in infants, helps flush out intestinal toxins
Quenches thirst, and is believed to aid in slimming
Helps in prevention of gallstones
Brings down the heat of the body, so given during fever.
Helps relieve many of the menstruation related problems in women, cramps, heat, acidity, boils, rashes etc. _________________ work in australia
