Medicinal properties of barley sherbet
Barley sherbet is light and easily digestible. It quenches
thirst, cools the body, and gives instant energy, especially
in the summer. It is good for hyperacidity, urinary tract
infection, skin disorders, and heat-induced headache.
It also helps reduce weight, if taken with honey.
Dosha analysis of barley sherbet
Barley sherbet pacifies pitta dosha and kapha
dosha, and aggravates vata dosha. Raw sugar
is mixed to pacify its vata quality. It is very
useful in pitta-aggravating disorders. Excessive
intake can cause flatulence.
Ingredients
Barley seeds 100 grams (or as per requirement)
Preparation
Take a pan with a heavy base and heat it a little. Put in
the barley, and roast on low fire till the seeds turn brown.
Make sure the seeds do not burn. Let them cool. Grind these
seeds to form a fine powder. Store in an air-tight container.
To drink, take three tablespoonfuls of the powder and two
tablespoonfuls of powdered raw sugar, and dissolve in a
glassful of chilled water. Those with aggravated kapha
dosha can use honey instead of raw sugar.
