Kshudra Danya is a group of small seeded cereals used as human food since ages. They are popular by the name millets. As Millets are packed with nutrients, they have numerous health benefits. Ayurveda has a distinguished explanation of Kshudra Danya (millets) with their specific qualities and effects, based on which their indications and contraindications can be elicited. This analysis may help in understanding the right usage of Kshudra Danya (millets) to avail their complete health benefits.
