Generally fine in moderation, but if you were prescribed it for a UTI or something, just confirm the amount with your gynac. Home made and light should be ok.
I drank it sometimes, especially when my feet were swollen, it helped a bit yaar. Just make it fresh at home and dont add too much sugar. Plain is best.
Beta barley water is a nice cooling drink and we often gave it for water retention and swelling. Have it fresh and not too much. Its gentle and safe, but check with your doctor if you have any kidney concern.
