How Ayurveda has stressed on the importance of desi ghee for our health?
Let us read and know in the next paragraph 😀
The Ancient science of Ayurveda considers ghee an important therapeutic agent. The three doshas that are vata, pitta and Kapha governs the old golden science of Ayurveda. Vata, pita and kapha is the combination of energies which come from natural elements like fire, water, air and space. The said therapeutic product `Ghee’ aims to correct vata and pitta doshas. To understand in details, we need to know what vata and pitta comprises of ?
- Vata comprises of space and air
- Pitta comprises of fire and water
Imbalance of Vata dosha leads to low body weight, constipation, dry skin, unsound sleep, over thinking etc. Imbalance of Pitta dosha leads to nausea, vomiting, allergy to particular food stuff, skin allergy etc. So that is reason Ayurvedic doctors recommend to consume medicinal herbs immersed in ghee. Apart from correcting doshas ,ghee gets easily absorbed in the body thus transversing through various body channels easily.
