Millet is major in TCM. To call it a Super Beauty Food would be no exaggeration. A simple bowl of hot millet congee is a famous remedy for insomnia, bloating and all sorts of digestion issues. And it’s literally one of the most soothing foods you can eat.
That’s why I think it’s an important food to add to rotation if you struggle with chronic under-eye puffing, bagging or dark circles. Anytime I see those issues I wonder how well does this person sleep, and then I look to see if there are any imbalances in the Spleen/Stomach (Earth) or Kidney/Heart (Water/Fire) energy systems - which can also be a cause for eye stagnation.
Combine this internal remedy with Under-Eye Gua Sha 3.0 follow-along class this Thursday at 7pm for a full inside/outside healing plan for your eyes. Link in bio to register.
Millet is known for strengthening our Spleen and Stomach energy. Millet congee can be helpful with everything from insomnia, to excess oily skin, fatigue, weight management, brain health, calming anxiety, aiding digestion and the list goes on….
In our newsletter today I go through the recipe and steps for a bowl of hot millet congee. It’s super easy. Basically you cook 1 part millet to 12 parts water for a soupy porridge consistency. If you’re not subscribed, just visit our link in bio.
If you’re bored with quinoa, millet is a fabulous grain to add to rotation. I usually suggest having a bowl of millet congee daily for a week or two to my patients and ask them to report back how they feel. If all is well, they can continue.
There are very few contraindications but if you are managing a major health condition please always check with your MD or personal Acupuncturist before trying.
