Can red bean barley cure constipation?

Red beans and coix seeds are usually not used to treat constipation.

The main effect of red beans and coix seeds is to eliminate dampness and diuresis. The combination of red beans and coix seeds is usually considered to help expel moisture from the body and improve some moisture-related symptoms, but this is not directly related to improving constipation. The causes of constipation are complex and diverse, and may be related to unreasonable diet, lack of exercise, intestinal dysfunction, mental and psychological factors. To relieve constipation, you need to consider various factors and take targeted measures, rather than relying solely on red bean barley.

For constipation treatment, dietary adjustments should include increasing dietary fiber intake, such as eating more fresh vegetables and fruits, whole grains, etc.; at the same time, ensure adequate water intake, develop good bowel habits, moderate exercise to promote intestinal motility. If constipation is serious, you may need to seek medical attention, use drugs or other treatments under the guidance of a doctor.
