A Spoon of Ghee a Day: Ayurveda on Daily Immunity
On this page
<h2>Ghee in classical texts</h2><p>Charaka Samhita places cow ghee among the finest <em>rasayanas</em> — substances that nourish all seven dhatus of the body. It is described as cooling, lubricating, and supportive of <em>agni</em> (digestive fire).</p>
<h2>How families use it</h2><p>A spoon stirred into warm milk before sleep, a drizzle on the first roti of the day, or a few drops in dal tadka — these are the rituals our grandmothers kept.</p>
<h2>Modern context</h2><p>Ghee is energy-dense, so a teaspoon or two a day is the right rhythm for most adults. Treat it as a daily ritual, not a megadose.</p>
