Coix seed is a kind of healthy food, and it is also very common in the market now. Chinese medicine believes that coix seed is sweet and light in taste, slightly cold in nature, and enters the spleen, kidney and lung meridians, and has the functions of diuresis, strengthening the spleen, stopping diarrhea, clearing heat and removing arthralgia. Compendium of Materia Medica records that Coix lachryma-jobi "tonifies the spleen and stomach, tonifies the lung, clears away heat, and dispels wind and dampness", while the Classic of Materia Medica records that Coix lachryma-jobi "has muscle contracture, can't flex and stretch, and is arthralgia due to rheumatism". With the increase of age, the elderly at home are generally weak in liver and kidney, and the onset of rheumatism is often more serious, especially in winter. The so-called "winter disease is cured in summer", so now is the right time. In addition, coix seed also has the effect of clearing fire and beautifying.
