Can you drink Job's tears and red bean tea every day?

It is not recommended to drink red bean and coix seed tea every day. Although this tea offers various benefits such as promoting diuresis and reducing edema, detoxification and abscess relief, removing cold and dampness, and improving spleen and stomach function, because it is cooling in nature, long-term consumption may cause discomfort symptoms such as diarrhea and abdominal pain, especially for individuals with spleen and stomach deficiency cold, who should consume it with caution.

The main ingredients of red bean and coix seed tea—red beans and coix seed—are nutritionally rich. However, prolonged consumption of these ingredients as a sole source of nutrition may lead to insufficient intake of other essential nutrients, potentially causing malnutrition. Additionally, excessive intake of dietary fiber and starch contained in this tea may also cause indigestion.

Individuals with weak spleen and stomach function or a cold body constitution should be especially cautious, as long-term and excessive consumption may exacerbate internal cold-dampness and lead to symptoms such as diarrhea and abdominal pain. If you intend to make red bean and coix seed tea a regular beverage, it is recommended to consume it in moderation according to your body constitution and health condition, and adjust or consult a doctor promptly if discomfort occurs.

It is generally recommended to consume red bean and coix seed tea in moderation according to individual constitution and health status—about 2–3 times per week, with each serving around 300–400ml. If any discomfort occurs, seek medical advice promptly and follow medical instructions to adjust your diet.
