Expert Medical Information

Red adzuki beans and coix seeds are quite effective in expelling dampness from the body. Red adzuki beans are cool in nature. They can promote blood circulation to remove stasis, clear heat and detoxify, and also help the body expel toxins and dampness. Coix seeds can strengthen the spleen and remove dampness, and they can also enhance the body's immune system and have anti-cancer effects.

People with excessive dampness in their bodies can often drink the water boiled with red adzuki beans and coix seeds. Generally, dietary therapy works slowly. It usually takes a relatively long time to take effect. At least one month is needed to see the results. Moreover, attention should be paid to diet, and greasy foods should be avoided.
