Chinese Yam and Fox-Nut (Qian Shi) Congee

Why people make this congee

Vaginal discharge is a very common concern. When a woman’s spleen qi is weak, the discharge can be continuous, white and sticky with no odour; in the traditional view, settling the spleen often settles the discharge. This gentle congee is aimed exactly at that weak-spleen type, and it is mild enough to eat regularly.
