Barley Water
2 ounces pearl barley
1 teaspoon lemon juice
5 pints water
1 tablespoon raisins
Boil barley in one pint water until tender, adding raisins and lemon
juice as the barley cools. Strain. Serve the barley as a grain dish or
add to other recipes. Add remaining four pints of water to barley water and simmer down to two pints. Cool.
Barley water may be soaked into a poultice or cotton and placed over the eyes while resting to relieve eye strain and dryness. This in turn may relieve headaches.
A lake is the landscape's most beautiful and expressive feature. It is earth's eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature.
~Henry David Thoreau
Rely on four special nutrients to help reduce your risk of a common eye problem by up to 35 percent. Diets that contain ample amounts of vitamin C, vitamin E, beta carotene, and zinc are associated with a greatly reduced risk of age-related macular degeneration, an eye disease that is common with aging and can lead to blindness. Good sources of these nutrients: fresh produce, nuts, fortified cereals, and supplements.
