COIX SEED fulfills all main functions in PhytoChi

In China, Coix seed is used both as medicine and as a daily food (especially in the form of grits). Coix seeds are also called "Chinese pearls," "Job's tears," or "Chinese pearl barley."

The most common traditional use of Coix seed is for painful joints and rheumatic problems. It relieves joint pain, removes swelling and festering wounds. It is an antioxidant and is used in TCM as a general tonic.

Ripe Coix seeds are known as a strengthening agent for the spleen, for their ability to spread heat, diuretic properties, and many others. COIX additionally has a healing effect on warts, diarrhea, appendicitis, or intestinal catarrh.

Interestingly, the hard seeds are used to make decorative items, bracelets, and chains, and in Christian areas even to make rosaries.

In PhytoChi, Coix seed fulfills all three main functions at once. It belongs to the 12 herbs that cleanse tissues and cells from toxins. Furthermore, it belongs to the 9 herbs that simultaneously act on inflammations. Thus, it significantly participates in strengthening the immune system and restoring the body's self-regulatory functions. And last but not least, it belongs to the 8 tonic herbs that strive to maintain the YIN/YANG balance and simultaneously strengthen the organism with energy.
