Barley and Rice (Hordeum vulgare and Orzya sativa)

Since ancient times, rice and barley have been cultivated and even worshiped by man. Grown throughout the world, these well-established grains and even the leaves from both these plants are rich in vitamins B and E and high in protein, carbohydrates and minerals. Also, because of their anti-inflammatory effects, rice and barely are often recommended for individuals suffering from illness and disease.

The enzymes and vitamin B in barley and rice are the components responsible for their favorable effects on the digestive system. These plants have also been used to treat individuals with loss of appetite and women who suffer from nursing discomforts.
