Because coix seed is sweet and flat in nature, it is very dry and wet, and it enters the lung, liver and stomach meridians. For the case of excessive water in the body, whether it is wet or cold, barley can be used to dry it. Cooking porridge at ordinary times and occasionally putting less coix seed are beneficial to the function of promoting diuresis and strengthening the spleen.

Because the idea of expelling toxin and eliminating dampness is very popular in China in recent years, the "toxic" body is attributed to poor health and sub-health state. In particular, many women feel that their gynecology is always bad, because it is too humid, so many programs recommend you to use barley to get rid of dampness.

Coix seed can strengthen the spleen and replenish qi, and it is also food, so many people feel that there are no side effects, so they use it unscrupulously, and there will be many problems in the middle.

Again, Chinese medicine is not without side effects on the body. Nowadays, when promoting traditional Chinese medicine products or foods with the same origin of medicine and food, merchants will declare that this is grain, pure herbs, not chemical synthesis, so it is harmless to the body. This statement is incorrect. What you eat will have an effect on your health. The same is true of Chinese medicine, including Chinese medicine.

If you are hot, you have to use cold medicine; If you have a cold, you have to use warm medicine; If you are wet, you must use warm and dry medicine. However, if a person has insufficient blood and body fluid, he must use drugs or food that nourish yin and promote fluid production.
