Talbina is a soup made from barley flour, formed by adding milk and honey to the dried barley powder. It is called talbina, which comes from the Arabic word laban meaning yogurt (milk/fermented churned milk), because of its resemblance to yogurt, as it is soft and white.
Uses of Talbina for Heart Sickness by Holy Prophet S.A.W
Hadhrat Aisha said that whenever one of her relatives died, the women assembled and then dispersed back to their homes except for her relatives and close friends. She would order that a pot of talbina be cooked. Then Tharid (a dish prepared from meat and bread) would be prepared and the talbina would be poured over it. Then Aisha would say (to the women),” Eat from it, for I heard the Messenger saying
‘The talbina soothes the heart of the patient and relieves him from some of his sadness.” Bukhari – 5058
Talbina for weight loss and relieving grief has been used since the advent of Islam, as seen in this hadith.
