Detox Delight: 500-Year-Old Barley Water Recipe for Internal Cleansing

Kiran Kukreja, a renowned nutritionist and health expert, has uncovered an Ayurvedic remedy with a history of 500 years that still shows exceptional effectiveness even in today's times. This simple but effective drink is barley water. Complimented for its natural cleansing, barley water is very helpful for those suffering from kidney stones, repeated urinary tract infections (UTIs), or inflammation in the body. Also, it is a great summer hydrating drink, offering balance and wellness.

Barley Water Recipe (Ayurvedic Method)

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp barley (jau ke daane)
• 2.5 to 3 cups water

Optional: Tulsi leaves, lemon juice, or a pinch of rock salt (as per your concern)

How to Make It

• Begin by washing the barley 2–3 times in clean water to remove dirt and impurities.
• Place the barley and water in a pan.
• Boil it on medium heat for 20–25 minutes, until the water becomes pale and cloudy and the barley softens.
• Let the mixture cool a bit, then strain the water into a glass or container.
• You may also put in lemon juice or a little rock salt to taste. If it is being consumed for relief against UTI, add 2–3 leaves of Tulsi (holy basil) along with boiling.
