Drinking red bean and coix seed tea may cause dry mouth due to its dampness-removing effect. It is recommended that patients moderately replenish sufficient water to avoid internal heat. Coix seed tea is a cooling beverage and is not recommended for long-term consumption. Women should avoid drinking it during menstruation to prevent menstrual irregularities. Dry tongue could also result from other causes, such as an unhealthy diet or excessive internal heat.
