Re: Chinese barley
Oh sounds interesting Pam. I looked it up in a book I have that was written by Nan Lu O.M.D, L.A.c, a Chinese doctor in New York (One of my cousins see him occassionally.) On page 285 he writes that it helps to soften breast masses and helps to fight infections. It also heps to strengthen the digestive system and relieves excess water and dampness in the body. I think Dr. Lu has a website, but I don't have the url handy. The name of the book is A Woman's Guide to Healing from Breast Cancer.
My naturopathic physician/Chinese doctor/acupuncturist recommended that I eat dandelion greens or use dandelion root in liquid form for my sensitive skin, but I am having trouble finding dandelion greens in Hawaii, so I will use the liquid until I find the greens.
