2. GheeThis golden elixir that our grandmothers and mothers have cherished for years, whether for massage, as
tadka in our
dals or offering in
pujas, it has incredible properties. Once made,
ghee contains practically no lactose and casein, making it suitable for people who cannot digest dairy.
Ghee has a very high heat point, which makes it one of the
best oils for cooking. During an Ayurvedic cleanse, it is the most preferred vehicle for Oleation: a process of
ingesting oil over a period of time. This actually helps pull fat soluble toxins out of the cells and triggers fat metabolism, a process where the body kick-starts to burn its own
fat for fuel.
Ghee is also one of the highest food sources of butyric acid (the cells of the colon use butyric acid as their preferred source of energy), and a major agent for supporting the health of the intestinal walls.
