Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Millet has traditionally been used in various systems of medicine and dietary practices, particularly in Asian and African cultures, as a staple grain believed to support general digestive health. Some traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) sources mention millet porridge as beneficial for the spleen and pancreas, often referring to the “middle burner” or digestive system, which includes the pancreas. However, these claims are based on historical dietary practices and the perception that millet is easy to digest and nourishing, rather than direct evidence of specific effects on the pancreas itself.

Scientifically, there is little direct research connecting millet consumption with pancreatic health or function. Most scientific attention on millet focuses on its role as a gluten-free, fiber-rich, and low-glycemic grain, which may be beneficial for general metabolic health, including blood sugar regulation. While this could indirectly support pancreatic function by reducing the demand for insulin, there is no robust evidence that millet has a targeted therapeutic effect on the pancreas or “pancreas head body system.” Therefore, the use of millet for pancreas support is primarily rooted in tradition rather than direct scientific validation.
