Ghee

[Guest guest]

Ghee (Siddha Ghrita)

 

The properties and usages of Ghee are different from other oils. Ghee

enhances Ojas, the subtle essence of all tissue. It increases agni (and all the

agnis), and all digestive energies and enzymes of the body. It promotes

jatharagni, the digestive fire dwelling in the small intestine, and increases

its

capacity without aggravating pitta. It promotes bhutagnis, the elemental fires

which dwell in the liver and govern transformation of food in the body. It

does not clog the liver, as do other oils and fats, but strengthens it.

 

It is food for majji-dhatu, bone marrow and nerve tissue, and feeds the

brain. Promoting Ojas, ghee promotes all the subtle tissues of the body,

including shukra-dhatu, the reproductive tissues. Through Ojas, it gives

sustenance

to tejas, the fire of the mind, and thus promotes medhagni, the flame of

intelligence and perception. As such it is an important rejuvenative tonic or

rasa

yana for the mind, the brain and the nervous system. It quickly removes

toxins and heat from the body. It is very good for Vata and Pitta Doshas.

Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, Alzheimers, and dis-ease of the eyes are greatly helped

with the use of ghee.

 

Ghee is excellent for diseases of the subtle tissues, nerves and mind,

including many Vata problems such as anxiety, nervousness, panic attacks, foggy

thinking, dizziness, heart palpitations or pain, constipation, and digestive

complaints. It increases the power of vision and improves the voice. It is good

for lung disorders and wasting dis-eases. It may be taken internally, used in

cooking, used externally for skin disorders and headaches, and used as nasya

to increase intelligence.

 

A delicious way to use the healing properties of Ghee is the 10 day Ginger

Treatment. It improves agni as well as enhancing the body and mind in all the

ways described above. It is taken in this way as a mini cleanse.

 

Mix together 8 tsp each of freshly grated ginger, melted ghee, and organic

brown sugar. Each morning before breakfast take the amount listed below.
