Prophetic Talbina is a soup cooked from ground roasted barley

It is used added to milk and then sweetened with honey. Cinnamon may be added to it. Mujezat Al Shifaa Company also adds saffron to it to enhance its effect in improving mood and getting rid of depression

The Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, recommended treating with it when sad events occur because it soothes and calms the heart and works to relieve sadness. Its use has become widespread among Arabs to relieve depression. Lady Aisha (may God be pleased with her) mentioned that the Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace) recommended treating with it, saying: “Talbina soothes the heart of the sick person and removes some of his sadness.” Sahih Al-Bukhari.

And it soothes the heart, meaning it mends a broken heart and relieves it of sadness, which maintains the health and safety of the heart

What are the benefits of Talbina?

- Talbina has many great benefits, including:

1. Talbina contains beta-glucan, which works to reduce cholesterol levels in the blood. The soluble barley fibers in Talbina combine with fats in the intestines and prevent their absorption into the blood and facilitate their exit. It protects against heart and circulatory diseases, and protects against atherosclerosis.

2. Treats high blood pressure. Studies in Egyptian universities have shown that Talbina contains a large amount of potassium, which achieves the necessary balance between salt and water inside the cell. Talbina is also a diuretic, removing excess water from the body, which reduces blood pressure.

3. It contributes to regulating blood sugar levels because Talbina works to absorb sugar gradually, so it reaches the blood gradually and does not cause a sudden rise in blood sugar.

4. Treats chronic constipation as the soluble fibers found in ground barley help stimulate colon movement as they absorb water and form a mass that softens and soothes the colon.

5. Beneficial for the elderly for more than one reason, including that it contains compounds similar to natural melatonin, which is responsible for regulating the sleep-wake cycle and protects the elderly from Parkinson's disease and maintains heart health. It also plays a role in activating immunity.

6. It is considered a nutritional supplement to improve the immune system in the human body. Saudi studies have shown that (beta-glucan), which is one of the components of talbina, activates white blood cells, which are the most important organ in the immune system, as it eliminates microbes and rids the body of toxins and infected cells. It has also been found that (beta-glucan) accelerates the healing of damaged tissue and activates the immune system in all its organs.

7. Talbina is beneficial for pregnant and breastfeeding women because it increases breast milk and makes it well-formed and richer in nutrients, which makes infants healthier and enjoy good natural growth. Talbina can be consumed by children during the weaning period and beyond to enjoy all the aforementioned benefits like adults. In addition to the fact that Talbina contains nutrients that soothe nervous tension and reduce depression, Mujeza Al Shifaa Company has added saffron to its content to enhance the elimination of depression and add the benefits of saffron to this prophetic meal.
