I don’t know whether it’s because it’s often used in soups, or because the uses of coix seeds are becoming more and more widely known, but I feel that coix seeds have been very popular in recent years, especially for beauty lovers. Chinese medicine says that coix seeds can strengthen the spleen and stomach, promote urination, reduce edema, and help the mind concentrate and sleep. Eating it for a long time can nourish the body, and it can also clear away heat and dampness. Whether it’s a cold or hot body, it has no adverse reactions. It’s an ideal thing for cooling off in summer and nourishing in winter. In addition, coix seeds’ whitening and skin care effects are also widely recognized, and they have become a favorite of ladies, whether taken orally or applied externally.
