Barley oil properties
When you look at the composition of essential oil, you can see that only 10% of all the ingredients are saturated fatty acids, so the rest is up to 90% of the desired monounsaturated and polyunsaturate fatty acid (NNKT). It also shows the best ratio of omega-6 to omega-3s. It is therefore a product that enables the proper functioning of the brain and nervous system. Additionally, it supports concentration and also prevents memory problems. What's interesting is that it reduces the likelihood of arthritis, as well as the age of depression, diabetes mellitus or type II diabetes (which can mainly lead to a decrease in dietary levels), and it can even help some newborns.

Unfortunately its price is quite high and it is on average 10 14 cents per 250 ml.
