Benefits of drinking Barley tea むぎちや

I have been drinking Barley tea for months now ( well technically years but I just started drinking it again.) and I have noticed a lot. Its actually called Mugichya むぎちゃ in Japan. That's where I get mine; my neighbor is Japanese and she gets me a huge bag whenever she goes to japan. One day I googled on what the benefits were and I could not believe it. I drink about a whole pitcher in 2-3 days. It takes a while to get use to it. But once you get use to it you can't stop.

Here are some benefits of drinking Mugichya:

  • It helps regulate and enhance blood regularity. Also helps maintain healthy blood circulation.
  • It is very rich in antioxidants. High in vitamin C and A
  • Helps prevent tooth decay. Leaves nice healthy teeth.
  • Can help prevent cancer. The high levels of antioxidants can assist in averting cell damage.
  • Works as a blood cleanser. Blood sugar can be reduced and regulated when drinking barley tea. Also can lower cholesterol level.
  • Barley tea helps in alleviating the symptoms of cold. Barley tea is said to be an effective treatment for fever too. It contributes in cleansing the system. It breaks up the phlegm and congestion's and assists in treating asthma and bronchitis. Drinking 2 cups of barley tea can give respite from a sore throat too.
  • Can help treat nausea and and can act as a natural antacid.
  • Beneficial to male fertility and can help keep a healthy prostate and can help prevent prostate cancer.
