Dr. Li Qinghui
Red Bean and Coix Seed Tea itself does not raise blood pressure. If your blood pressure increases after consuming it for a period of time, other underlying causes should be considered. This tea actually has a blood pressure–lowering effect and is safe for individuals with hypertension; it also helps eliminate dampness. In daily life, it is essential to maintain a healthy diet—avoid greasy or fatty foods and opt instead for light, bland meals. Additionally, ensure regular sleep patterns and consistent daily routines.
