Barley grass can be consumed as a juice extracted from the cereal grass sprouts or in the form
of green powder by spray drying the barley grass. It brings relief in a range of health conditions
discussed as under:
Antioxidant power:
Barley grass has an impressive antioxidant wealth. Along with vitamin E and beta carotene,
barley grass is the most potent supplier of healthy and critical enzyme superoxide dismutase
which helps neutralize the effects of oxygen free radicals which are produced during energy
metabolism. The protective act of these valuable radical scavengers prevents the development
of a wide array of diseases caused by oxidative stress.
Ulcerative colitis:
Barley grass is valuable in treating ulcerative colitis attributing to its stimulating effect on gut
friendly bacteria. It helps in alleviating the inflammation and other associated symptoms
implicated in ulcerative colitis by reducing the provocative chemicals in the bowel. Barley grass
also assists in balancing the fluidity in the bowel and helps eliminate accumulated toxins from
the body.
Detoxification:
Barley grass is a wonderful natural detoxifier. The cleansing ability of barley grass is even
effective in eliminating the accumulated harmful heavy metals including lead which may cause
behavior and learning disorders particularly in kids. The major contributors behind the act of
detoxification are trace elements zinc, selenium and copper. Furthermore, abundance of
chlorophyll and beta carotene in barley grass stimulates the eradication of waste materials such
as mucus and crystallized acids. It also supports the metabolic processes and aids in
strengthening and detoxification of liver.
Immune system:
Barley grass supports in boosting the immune defense mechanism of the body. Regular
consumption of barley grass provides the required nutrition which is necessary for balancing
the optimal production of immune cells in the body. Effective and strong immune defense
vigilantly fights infections and prevents the development of fatal diseases.
Cancer:
Barley grass is effective against cancer owing to the power of superoxide dismustase enzyme. It
has preventive as well as curing reaction against the cancer cells which also attributes to the
presence of other remedial components such as peridoxase protein and catalase enzyme.
Catalase enzymes present in barley grass has the ability to decompose and neutralize the effects
of toxic hydrogen peroxide which is produced during respiration and help suppress the
proliferation of cancer cells.
Another beneficial effect of barley grass is its protective act against the cell destructing effects
of UV radiations. It helps prevent as well as extends therapeutic relief on the existing damaged
cell owing to the presence of superoxide dismustase enzymes. Regular consumption of barley
grass juice aids in reducing the radiation stress in the people who are more prone to such
exposure such as population in urban and large cites. It also acts defensively against the effects
of radioactivity and even renews the cells and tissues damaged by radioactivity. This attributes
to the presence of chlorophyll content which improves the resistance to radioactivity and also
encourages the production of new blood cells. For this reason, it is generally recommended to
drink barley grass juice prior and post exposure to x-rays to provide a shield against the
radioactive damages.
Fights addiction:
Barley grass is also an effectual remedy for fighting various kinds of addictions. The presence of
glutamic acid in barley grass inhibits the craving for harmful materials such as alcohol, coffee,
nicotine, drugs and even sugary sweets.
Acid-alkali balance:
Barley grass beneficially contributes in establishing the acid alkali balance of the body
attributing to its super alkaline nature. It is natural alkaline source which helps in reducing the
excess acidity in the body which may cause acidosis damage. Imbalance of acid-alkali in the
body may lead to problems like sleep disorders, cardiac pains, fatigue, constipation and fragile
fingernails.
Rejuvenating effects:
Barley grass is a natural way to stimulate the regeneration of cells without any side effects. Vital
components such as chlorophyll, vitamin B, iron and phcocyanin, a blue pigment in barley grass
inspires the bone marrow and supports in the creation of white and red blood cells. This
renewing effect of barley grass also helps prevent the signs of aging by rejuvenating the aging
cells and helps maintain healthy and youthful skin. The useful enzymes present in barley grass
improve the quality of blood, regulates digestion and works as a rejuvenator tonic for the entire
body.
WHAT IT IS – Barley grass (Hordeum vulgare) is the seedling of the barley plant. It is usually
harvested about 200 days after germination, when the shoots are less than a foot tall.
NUTRITIONAL VALUE – A concentrated source of nearly three dozen vitamins and minerals,
barley grass is particularly rich in vitamins A, C, B1, B2, folic acid, and B12; calcium; iron;
potassium; and chlorophyll. Unlike most plants, barley grass provides all nine essential amino
acids (those which your body can’t produce).
HEALING CLAIMS – Barley grass is a powerful antioxidant that is believed to help the body kill
cancer cells and overcome a variety of ailments, including acne and ulcers.
THE EVIDENCE – There have been no clinical trials of barley grass. In an experiment at George
Washington University, Goldstein and his colleagues exposed leukemic cancer cells to
dehydrated barley grass extract. The extract killed virtually all of them. Encouraged, the
researchers then subjected brain cancer cells to the extract. It eradicated 30 to 50 percent of
these cells. In a third trial, the extract inhibited the growth of three types of prostate cancer
cells by 90 to 100 percent. Compare Curing Massive Cancer With Green Barley Pills. In Japan,
where barley grass extract is popular, there is anecdotal evidence that it helps the body heal
from many illnesses. In one informal study, a Japanese dermatologist observed a group of 7.5
patients with skin diseases ranging from melanosis (darkening of the skin) to eczema. The
patients who took barley grass extract healed faster than did those who did not. They also
noticed improvements in appetite and bowel regularity.
