In India’s ancient system of healing, known as Ayurveda, the special healing benefits of ghee are known to help purify the body, promote longevity, and maintain digestive health. It is among the gentlest of medicines.
It heals wounds and rashes, draws out toxins from the body, strengthens the effect of herbal medicines, and soothes the young and aging. It is also used to nourish the skin, and for massage.
Perhaps the most significant of ghee’s medicinal healing benefits, which has been confirmed by Western scientists, is its concentration of the short-chain fatty acid known as butyric acid.
Ghee, a golden butter fat, is perfect food for the microbiology that lives in our gut.
Butyric acid, also known as butyrate, happens to be the preferred food for the microbiology that lives in the human intestinal tract. Butyrate is what the colon cells use as energy to maintain the health and integrity of the intestinal walls.
