Studies on barley grass Research done on patients with ulcerative colitis has shown that those who ate barley grass had significant improvements in symptoms including fewer episodes of diarrhoea and less pain – compared to the group receiving conventional drugs (standard anti-inflammatory drugs including steroids).

Ulcerative colitis is associated with low levels of friendly bacteria in the gut and a build-up of toxins in it. Barley grass helps to reverse this by stimulating the growth of friendly bacteria, which in turn helps to reduce inflammation and improve symptoms.

Other studies done in Japan have shown that Barley Grass significantly improves blood flow as it reduces the amount of LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein) cholesterol.Barley Grass has also shown promising results in preliminary studies done on its ability to reduce certain forms of cancer especially breast and prostate cancer.
