Millet has the effects of clearing away heat and quenching thirst, invigorating stomach and removing dampness, calming stomach and sleeping, and also has the function of nourishing yin and blood, which can make the constitution of puerpera deficient and cold be nursed back to health.

Rice porridge is easier to digest and absorb, but it is forbidden to put alkali in making rice porridge.

The combination of rice and millet is better than simple rice and millet, and it is good in taste and nutrition.
