There is a lot more!!)

 

Sat Nam!

Ghee needs no refrigeration if properly prepared as the liquid is " cooked "

out of the butter. I have noticed many recipes that suggest skimming the

froth

off the top. I was taught by Dr. Frawley that the foam on top contains the

medicinal properties and is not to be removed. Make sure you use a

clean, dry,

instrument to remove the ghee for your cooking or injesting. I have Ghee

that is

8 years old that I am letting " age " . In the ancient texts 100 year old

Ghee is

said to cure any illness! It does not need to be frozen or refrigerated. It

is the vehicle of choice for Ayurvedic herbs. Mixing it with honey and

ginger

taking doses for 10 days in a row is a wonderful treatment and cleanse. In

Ayurveda, ghee enhances Ojas, increases Agni, gives sustenance to Tejas,

promotes

bhutagni without conjesting the liver, promotes intelligence and perception.

It is a wonderful brain and nerve tonic, greatly helping many Vata deranged

conditions. It is used as a tonic for the eyes, helping improve vision

and can

be

applied to the eyelids and cornors of the eye for this reason. It is

considered a premier rasayana, a food that helps maintain good health,

vitality

and

longevity. Ghee is excellent for balancing Vata and Pitta doshas. It helps

enhance digestion without irritating the stomach and helps balance

stomach acid.

Ghee is a yogavahi, it helps carry the healing benefit of herbs, spices and

other foods to the cells and tissues of the body. The traditional texts also

designate ghee a medhya rasayana, good for mental alertness and memory.

Ghee is

also helpful in counteracting dry skin from the inside out. So eat your

Ghee!

Blessings in health!
