Barley Grass is thought to have been used by ancient Egyptians, Romans and Vikings for its health benefits, and is thought to be the only plant on Earth which can provide every nutrient needed by the body throughout life.
After researching Barley Grass for 10 years, Hagiwara, a Japanese health researcher claimed, “the leaves of cereal grasses provide the nearest thing to perfect food that this planet offers.”
Barley Grass is a rich source of protein and contains 8 essential amino acids which are involved in building and repairing cells, live enzymes (including SOD which helps the metabolism and digestion by allowing vitamins and minerals to be absorbed by the body), chlorophyll, nearly all of the minerals which humans need to be healthy and vitamins such as E, K, beta-carotene and lutein.
Another of the active ingredients is Proanthocyanidin, which protects against free radicals and is believed to protect the immune system.
Scientists from the School of Bio resources, University of Andong, Korea, found that another chemical present in Barley Grass called Lunasin could stop skin cancer cells from reproducing.
Barley Grass is also believed to help reduce inflammation and pain, heal wounds, promote bowel regularity and detoxify radiation, heavy metals and toxins in the body.
Japanese scientists from the Department of Internal Medicine, Shiga University of Medical Science, have discovered that one of the proteins contained in Barley grass is rich in glutamine which can help to cure Ulcerative Colitis by repairing cells in the wall of the bowel.
Japanese researchers have also found that 250 ml of Barley Grass tea improves blood flow for several hours. This is very important in the prevention of strokes and heart attacks.
In addition to the health benefits, it is believed to improve the complexion and improve the quality of nails, skin and hair. It may also decrease the ageing process.
