CO2 extracted Coisis Semen
(Job’s Tears, Coix Seed)

Yi Yi Ren essential oil has a valuable functional rather than aromatic use in aromatherapy blends. Like many of the herbs in its Chinese medicine category (herbs that drain dampness) its nature is sweet and bland. It effectively leaches out dampness from the bones, sinews and muscles and is especially helpful to ease pain, increase joint mobility and reduce spasms in chronic cases with swelling and hypertonicity.

Coix Seed does its job by strengthening the transforming and transporting functions of the Spleen and Stomach (digestion) which in turn supports the flesh and muscles and helps the Lung and Kidney accomplish their roles in water metabolism.

When combined with other essential oils, Yi Yi Ren may be applied to mitigate atrophy and weakness that result from chronic damp conditions.. Think of combining with Cang Zhu (Atractylodis Rhizome) and Du Huo (Angelica pubescentis Radix) for example.

Topically, Yi Yi Ren essential oil may be applied as a poultice with the ground raw herb to expel pus, clear acne and resolve abscesses.
