Red bean and coix seed tea can help eliminate dampness. Dampness is one of the common pathogenic factors encountered in clinical practice, primarily arising after exposure to external pathogens, digestive disorders, or impaired organ function. Symptoms of dampness may include dizziness, fatigue, excessive sleepiness, white or yellowish tongue coating, and loose stools. For patients suffering from excessive dampness, drinking red bean and coix seed water has the effect of strengthening the spleen and resolving dampness.
