For soothing the stomach, millet (also known as small barley) can invigorate the intestines and stomach, replenish deficiencies, and benefit the Dantian. It is suitable for those with blood and qi deficiencies, weak constitution, and poor appetite, making it a good food for nourishment. It is also beneficial for postpartum women with insufficient milk production, fatigue, weakness, and poor appetite due to postpartum exhaustion. It can be consumed as a breakfast food.
