Chinese medicine believes that coix seed is cold and enters the spleen, lung and kidney meridians. It has the functions of invigorating spleen and lung, clearing away heat and infiltrating temperature, and is also beneficial to balance blood pressure and blood lipid. In Compendium of Materia Medica, it is mentioned that Coicis Semen "tonifies the spleen and stomach, tonifies the lung and clears away heat, dispels wind and overcomes dampness, keeps beauty in the body and prolongs life". Can be used for treating spleen and stomach weakness, hypertension, urinary calculi, urinary tract infection, ascariasis, etc. Has effects in preventing cancer, promoting diuresis, relieving fever, and strengthening body.
In the past, ordinary people didn't know enough about the function of Job's tears, so they generally ate them as food. They taste like rice and are easy to digest and absorb. They can cook porridge and soup. Only in recent years, the health care function of coix seed has been fully recognized by people, and its use has become more and more extensive. Because of its rich nutrition, coix seed is a good medicine for the elderly, pregnant women and children who are weak and recovered after a long illness, and can be taken frequently. Whether it is used for nourishing or treating diseases, it is mild, mild cold does not hurt the stomach, and it benefits the spleen without nourishing, so it is gradually favored by people. Of course, the price is also rising.
There are many ways to eat coix seed, most of which are used to cook porridge. Because it is a health food that came from behind, many people have introduced its production method, so you can search it. Generally speaking, it is based on your own physical condition, supplemented by other health care raw materials. Its ingredients are generally: yam, codonopsis pilosula, hawthorn, lily, astragalus, red dates, ginkgo, lotus seeds and so on. Are peaceful and nourishing, and are good for many bodies. Can be reasonably matched according to physical needs.
Generally, coix seed is mostly mixed with only one ingredient. But there are exceptions. For example, in "eight-treasure porridge", the authentic formula is barley. There is also a representative called "eight treasures to clear heat and cool", which is a good diet in summer and not suitable in winter. In order to let everyone have an intuitive understanding of the production of coix seed recipes, a brief introduction is as follows:
Preparation: 40g of coix seed, 40g of yam, 40g of lotus seed, 40g of jujube, 20g of lily, 20g of radix adenophorae, 20g of arrowroot and 20g of Polygonatum odoratum. If this recipe is selectively mixed with rice or glutinous rice, you can make all kinds of glutinous rice porridge.

Has effect in invigorating spleen, relieve diarrhea, nourishing yin, moistening lung, relieving restlessness and tranquilize mind, and is suitable for cough due to lung deficiency, persistent diarrhea, body weakness, excessive sweating, dry mouth, night sleep, MUBI, nocturnal emission in men, and leukorrhagia in women.

I don't need to teach you how to cook porridge. It is a good product for supplementing nutrition and strengthening physical strength all year round. However, it should be noted that choosing beef in summer and mutton in winter must not be mixed and used backwards!
