Ghee
Ghee is the most revered and auspicious substance of Ayurvedic medicine. I share with you just a few of the reasons why it is so good for our bodies and why you might want to start adding a daily dose to your diet.

You can think of ghee as a tonic for the whole G. I. tract. It helps fortify and repair the intestinal lining which aids in absorption in the small intestines. It is high in butyric acid which we need for proper digestion. When the digestive system is healthy, our bodies naturally detoxify which can help with healthy weight loss.
This healthy fat is high in vitamins A, D, E. K and omega 3s which boost immunity. It keeps your hair and skin healthy, lubricates joints and strengthens bones. Ghee is excellent support for the nervous system and can aide sleep and rest.
If you are taking herbs or supplements, ghee is one of the ideal carries. Our bodies absorb herbs deeper into the tissues when they are infused with a healthy fat such as ghee. This helps our bodies digest and utilize more efficiently the herbs or supplements, rather than them just getting passed through our digestive system.
Ghee really is a superfood!
Shatavari Rose Ghee
Here are a few of my favorite ways to get ghee into my daily diet:
Fat Coffee: blending 1 tbsp. of Shatavari Rose Ghee into a coffee first thing in the morning
Herbal Soft Pills: rolling herbs in ghee and for daily herbal supplements; More info about these here…
Rice + Ghee: saute fresh garlic and ginger in a 2 tbsp. of Turmeric Nasturtium Ghee and add left over (or fresh) rice
Ghee + Toast: a favorite of my kids is spreading Spiced Ghee on toast with a drizzle of honey
Warm Milk + Ghee: for a rejuvenating night of deep sleep, take warm milk with Ashwagandha Lavender Ghee and honey before bed.
For a gentle and healthy spring time cleanse, add a daily dose of Turmeric Nasturtium Ghee to your diet. It is infused with herbs that boost metabolism, supports healthy movement of the lymphatic system and reduces inflammation, especially in joints. The herbs in this ghee also support healthy blood, liver and digestion which results in natural detoxification. A little detoxing at this time of year helps to ensure a more balanced summer of fun ahead!
