Traditional Uses

In folk herbal practice, this four-ingredient combination is a well-known dampness-transforming, spleen-supporting food-therapy blend. Coix seed is traditionally cooked into congee and soups to support fluid metabolism; euryale seed is added to strengthen the spleen and stabilize the essence; red bean is simmered in sweet soups to move water and cool the body; and porcupine fungus is decocted in long-simmered broths to gently support digestion and calm the spirit. Together they are brewed as a daily tea, cooked into congee, or added to soup packs for seasonal nourishment during damp, humid weather.
