Barley Water

I heard from a nurse on Wednesday at Madison Memorial Hospital about the health benefits of Barley water. She swore by it, so I attempted to keep the idea in my brain for researching later.

This link said that Barley is an antioxidant, helps cure childhood asthma, prevent cancer, digestive remedy, helps constipation, diarrhea, nausea, lowers cholesterol, prevents gallstone formations, cures current gallstones, helps to control glucose levels and those who have diabetes, helps arteriosclerosis, prevents heart related disorders, can help with seizures, and other attacks. 


How do you use it? Boil with a ratio of 1 barley to 5 parts water. Strain off barley and use it in a soup or other foods. Drink 1 glass of the water everyday. You can add lemon or fruit flavoring if desired. The barley has a plain flavor similar to noodles. I added it to my macaroni & cheese this evening. It was most delightsome!
