Rice water has been known as a natural home remedy for thousands of years, seemingly simple yet carries the wisdom of health preservation. The old Qing-era book, Recipes from the House of Rest [translated title], even mentions congee and rice as “the world’s most nourishing food”. Rice water, which is made of a combination of red rice, white rice, and coix seeds, is mild in nature and suitable for men, women, and children of all ages. One cup of rice water a day reduces the burden of the digestive health.

Traditional Chinese medicine considers the spleen and stomach the root of the acquired constitution and the source of qi and blood production. As core components of the digestive system, the spleen and stomach are responsible for the absorption and transportation of nutrients to different parts of the body, and therefore play a crucial role in establishing a solid foundation for overall health.

A healthy body is key to preventing illness, but poor habits in our daily life can hurt the spleen and stomach over time. While it is important to let go of bad habits, drinking a cup of rice water a day is a good first step to begin alleviating the burden on the spleen and stomach.
