From an Ayurvedic perspective, ghee pacifies both Vata and Pitta Dosha, strengthens and protects the bodily tissue, improves memory increases mental clarity, promotes stamina, stimulates digestion, produces a healthy complexion and aids rejuvenation and longevity. If taken in moderation, generally 1-2 tsp with each meal, it can help enhance the digestive process.
Ghee is cow’s butter from which the milk solids and water have been removed. It can be used for frying herbs, sautéing vegetables, cooking and baking.
In Ayurveda, ghee is often used as a vehicle to carry herbs (anupana) into the body as it enhances the absorption of beneficial chemicals and antioxidants into the lipid-permeable cell membranes.
Applied to the eyes especially during the Ayurvedic treatment of Netra Tarpana, it can help rectify many eye problems. On burns it helps cool, heal and repair damaged tissue.
Over the past few decades we have been led to believe that all fats are detrimental to health Scientific research has shown that some fatty acids are in fact very beneficial for the body while others are absolutely essential.
Fats can be saturated or unsaturated. Saturated fats contain either long- chain or short-chain fatty acids. Long-chain fatty acids may not be totally digested and metabolised in the body. Frequent digestion of products which contain them, primarily meat and dairy may in the long term lead to excess acidity in the body. However short-chain fatty acids are digested, assimilated, absorbed, and metabolised very easily and help the body to release energy.
