Ghee is one of the most revered Ayurvedic Foods. It has been used for thousand of years in India and in Ayurvedic Medicine. In this article, I want to show you The Healing Wonders of Ghee so you can start using it in your kitchen to reap out all its wonderful benefits!
YUMMY IN MY TUMMY
First of all Ghee is delicious! It gives a delicate and nuttier flavor to the food you cook. Ghee is excellent for cooking because it’s smoke point is 250 degrees Celsius, so if you are frying or heating your food at high temperatures, Ghee is the best cooking medium. It is great for both sweet and salty meals. For example, I use it for stir fry recipes and even for baking! Ghee is super versatile so if you have to choose, go for Ghee, you won’t be disappointed!
But, you know? Ghee is more than just a delicious fat to add to your food. The Healing Wonders of Ghee are numerous. So let’s start!
DISINFECTING PROPERTIES
Ghee is said to be purifying and disinfecting. According to Ayurveda, Ghee is capable of cleaning the 14 Srotamsi or Channel Systems in your body, detoxifying your body and mind of impurities. In fact, Ghee is used in Ayurvedic cleanses such as the Panchakarma to enhance the elimination and detoxification process.
LUBRICANT OF TISSUES
One of the most harmful effects of our modern societies you can notice in your mind and body is the over-stimulation of the senses and over-activity which sadly, we tend to praise and value more than stillness and calmness. This means, in Ayurvedic terms, that we may become Vata aggravated and start showing dryness in our tissues, like in our skin, hair, and nails. One of The Healing Wonders of Ghee is that it is excellent at lubricating our issues and repairing the damage caused by a Vata lifestyle. It can be used both internally with your food, as well as externally on your skin and hair.

GREAT FOR DIGESTION
Another of The Healing Wonders of Ghee is that it is loaded with butyric acid which promotes the growth of the cells in the digestive tract and decreases inflammation of the colon. Plus it helps regenerate the gut flora or good probiotic bacteria present in the digestive system. More than ever, you can see that people are falling victim of digestive issues and food allergies. What Ghee does is to help your digestive lining recover from bad eating habits and promote smooth and complete digestion.
AMAZING SOURCE OF OJAS
According to Ayurvedic medicine, Ojas is the substance that is key to health because it promotes your Life Force or Prana. In Western terms, it means that by using Ghee you are promoting health and rejuvenation of your body and mind. Ghee is loaded with Vitamin A, E, K12, Conjugated Linoleic Acid -CLA-, and Omega 3 and Omega 6 Fatty Acids! Let me elaborate on CLA, because studies have shown that it helps with reducing inflammation, losing weight, and even preventing cancer. See, these are all nutrients that help you repair your tissues and increase your longevity.
Start using Ghee and see how your health improves. One of my favorite organic Ghee is this one. Try it out and let me know what you think 🙂
