Congee tonifies the qi (pronounced "chee" and without a better discription it is the "life force" or "life energy") and the blood (blood is thought of a bit differently and may be considered as solidified qi or the transport vessel of qi).

Although rice is the most common grain for congee, a variety of additional vegetables, grains, and herbs can be added to enhance the therapeutic properties.
