About this tea
Bothered by your puffy face and eyes? Feeling tired with swollen belly and legs? Let’s say goodbye to puffiness!
Hongkongers like drinking a refreshing infusion made of coix seed and lemon when they want to get rid of dampness in the body. According to traditional chinese health concepts, the spleen rules ‘transformation and transportation’. It extracts pure nutritive essence from ingested food and liquid as well as transporting unwanted liquid for excretion. If the spleen is in disharmony, its digestive power and fluid metabolism will be undermined. Thus results in water retention, puffiness, heaviness of the body, fatigue, indigestion and even diarrhoea.
Coix seed enters the spleen and supports body fluid metabolism, and thus helps you get rid of internal dampness, puffiness and fatigue. What’s more, it brightens the skin!
