Barley grass powder is made from the young leaves of the plant before it produces grain, and before the stem has developed. It has the same life changing effects as wheat grass, such as immune boosting, detoxification and digestive health, as well as being highly alkalising due to the amount of alkaline minerals it contains (calcium, magnesium, manganese, and potassium to name but a few). It has the powerful ability to restore a healthy acid-alkaline balance in the body whilst offering protection against the many health problems that can be caused by disharmony in the blood PH. Also – Ulcerative colitis is linked to low levels of friendly bacteria in the gut and an accumulation of toxins in the bowel. Barley grass helps reverse this by stimulating the growth of friendly bacteria, which in turn helps reduce inflammation and improves symptoms. Barley grass helps combat this debilitating condition by lowering the amount of inflammatory chemicals in the bowel, including one called epithelial NF-k, and by balancing the water content of the bowels. Studies also show that barley grass increases the amount of friendly bacteria in the bowels.

Suggested Dosage: 1/2 to 4 teaspoons per day added to smoothies, juice, water, rice milk, yogurt or any other foods. As with wheatgrass powder, add it to your diet gradually to enable the body to get used to any detoxification reaction. Again, research your herb thoroughly before use.
