Barley grass is the growing shoot from the barley plant. The grass is harvested before the nutrients in the shoots are used up forming the barley cereal grain. When harvested the grass is either carefully dried or juiced fresh. The dried grass is turned into powder or tablet form for commercial purposes. It is commercially known as Barley Green, Green Barley Leaf and Green Magma.

About Green Barley
Barley grass generally acts as a purifier and rejuvenator probably because of its high nutrient and chlorophyll content. Barley grass contains trace amounts of vitamins B12, B2, B3, C and E. It is high in minerals that are responsible for structural formation and metabolism in the body.

Barley grass offers unique digestive enzymes not available in such high concentrations in other foods. In addition to these enzymes is the presence of the antioxidant superoxide dismutase (SOD) and the substance P4D1. Both of these substances slow cellular degeneration and mutation and are thus useful against ageing and degenerative illness.
The high mineral content along with large quantities of mucopolysaccarides (responsible for strengthening tissues and strongly anti inflammatory), help strengthen all body tissues including those of heart and arteries.
The strong digestive properties of barley grass may help those with sluggish liver, slow digestion and gastro inflammation such as peptic ulcers and food intolerance.

Notes
Some people may experience headaches, nausea, diarrhoea or other discomfort. These reactions will normally occur no more than a few times and indicate detoxification. If the reactions persist too much is being taken or the supplement is not appropriate.

Medical use
Traditionally barley grass has been used in the treatment of arthritis, bruises, burns, cancer, constipation, rheumatism and wounds. Much research has been done on barley grass and more recent applications are listed below.
Barley grass may have anti-inflammatory properties due to chlorophyll, P4D1 and mucopolysaccharides. These properties combined with the ability to heal and strengthen body tissues makes it useful against high blood pressure (hypertension)and heart disease.
Barley grass may be used to alleviate eczema (12 g of green barley powder administered in three 4 g dosages per day). The high chlorophyll content in barley grass gives it strong cleansing properties thus can be taken before meals if there is a tendency to overeat or to purge candida yeast.
Barley grass may be used on wounds, burns and other conditions externally. A cloth may either be soaked in the juice and applied or simply use a poultice of crushed pulp grass.

Dosage
Dosage will depend on what the grass is being used for.
As an aid for prevention, gradual renewal, added nutrients, and to counter the effects of toxins in food and the environment: 4 to 5 grams once a day.
For disease states: 4 to 5 grams three times a day.
When used as a nutritional supplement barley grass is ideally taken on an empty stomach or at the end of a meal.
