Yi Ren Powder (Coix lacryma-jobi) — Dried Food-Herb Powder, 100g Jar

Yi Ren Powder (Coix lacryma-jobi) is the finely milled powder of the dried seed of a highly revered traditional food herb known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Yì Rén (薏仁), also written Yì Yǐ Rén (薏苡仁) and commonly called Job's Tears. For centuries, Yi Ren has been prized as a gentle, dampness-transforming and spleen-supporting herb, used in daily congee, soups, and seasonal tonics to support lightness of body and smooth digestion. Its nature is sweet, bland, and slightly cool, making it a mild yet profoundly useful herb for draining dampness, strengthening the Spleen, and harmonizing the body's fluid balance.
