How to Treat Internal Scar Tissue with Barley

Internal scar tissues affect muscles, organs and connective tissues in the body. These develop due to trauma or inflammation of cells and tissues and can band together to form adhesions. These adhesions can restrict movements or prevent the organs from functioning. One form of internal scar tissue is sarcoidosis, which is mostly asymptomatic but sometimes can cause fiber-like scar tissues in the lungs. The signs and symptoms include shortness of breath and enlarged lymph nodes around the lungs. A chest X ray, lung function tests or biopsy can be used to diagnose the condition. Treatment may include barley or its supplements.
