Nutritional value of millet bran

Huangdi Neijing, a classic of traditional Chinese medicine, holds that "the chaff crosses the spleen", which is sweet and flat, and tends to invigorate qi. It has the effects of invigorating qi and spleen, nourishing blood and calming the nerves, tonifying kidney and strengthening the brain, and is suitable for the food supplement and treatment of insomnia patients with deficiency of both qi and blood and spleen and kidney.

Like grains, chaff is superior to rice in function, and it is an ideal tonic because it is nourishing but not stagnant, warm but not dry. Eating rice bran regularly can enhance human immune function, not only prevent diseases and strengthen the body, but also treat insomnia and improve sleep quality.
