An Ayurvedic perspective
Perhaps you are reading this because you have heard about
one or another of the unique qualities of Ghee and want to
find out more. Perhaps, if you have heard from an Ayurvedic
or a Yoga practitioner, they might have told you about Ghee
as a Vedic rasayana or medicine-Aushadha and its long and
celebrated history of healing properties. Or, they might have
told you about its use in the culture of India for preparing
healthy and very tasty food-Ahara for thousands of years.
As you might surmise, Ghee is a substance that is well known
and valued as both a food and a medicine.
In my studies of Ayurveda, I have learned that Medicines
do not create the tissues-dhatus. Food-ahara is the only thing
that creates tissues. In fact, the older Ayurvedic Teachers,
Vaidyas, used to say, If you do not want to eat my diet (food),
do not bother to take my medicines.î The use of food
as medicine and medicine as food is one of the unique and
wonderful qualities of Ayurveda and is also one of the unique
attributes of the substance known as Ghee. Let me tell you
some of what I have heard: |
