Guest guest Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Hi everyone, I was given a cleanse, by an Ayurvedic specialist, to do at home. The purpose is to remove ama. It says I'm supposed to consume some Ghee every day. Can someone tell me how I do that? Do I melt it? Do I mix it with something else? Or consume it plain? There were no other instructions for how to take the Ghee. I appreciate any info you might have. Melody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 Please check up whether it is pure ghee, or medicated ghee. In ayurveda the medicated ghee is called " Gritham " . There are so many Grithams. Any ghee is good only. You can just swallow. ___________________________ I was given a cleanse, by an Ayurvedic specialist, to do at home. The purpose is to remove ama.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 I would think its including it in your food diet. Since ghee is a purified butter, you can use it in place of butter in your daily diet. But make sure you use the ghee only enough for your body to be able to digest! Good Luck!

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 Hello Melody, I find that baking the butter is the EASIEST way to make ghee. Ghee is considered one of the best rejuvenating and longevity promoting foods. It's rate of absorption by the body is higher than any other cooking oil, so it's excellent for transporting nutrients/minerals and herbs to the tissues. Ghee stimulates digestion without aggravating the digestive fire. It can be heated to high temperatures without burning. You can even deep fry foods in ghee. Substitute ghee for butter or oil in any recipe. However, I don't bake with it. Here's my fool proof method... Take 3 pounds of unsalted butter (believe me, you'll use it!) put it in an 8 cup pyrex measuring cup Bake at 300 degrees for 1 hour. Skim off the " cheese " on the top. (i put it in the vegetables that I cook that day, what's leftover I throw away) Pour the oil through cheesecloth, until you see the water on the bottom (don't let that mix with the oil). It's really easier than it sounds, and when you see what's happening this will make sense! You don't need to refrigerate it, and it'll keep for about two months. Enjoy!

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 when taking gritham for medicinal reasons it should be taken alone. It does not work the same way when it is cooked in food. The solids need not be removed. It can be kept with the ghee. Take a tablespoon each morning as you would flax seed oil ____________ You can even deep fry foods in ghee. Substitute ghee for butter or oil in any recipe. However, I don't bake with it.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Really, I've never seen or heard of this. Won't the milk solids go bad? or do you refrigerate your ghee?

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 I've never tried making my ghee in a crockpot. One of the reasons why I like baking it in a pyrex, is because you can see the layers so clearly. Have you ever heard of leaving the " cheese " on top?

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Dear Melody, Ghee when used for cleansing period is used with following pre-requisites 1) It should be medicated herbal ghee as a general rule, unless specifically advised. Plain ghee is not generally used for cleansing ama. 2) It should be always taken in melt form. 3) The dose should be predetermined eg. 5ml or 10 ml or 30ml etc. 4) The course should not exceed more than 7 days. 5) It can be taken along with warm milk or herbal decoction. Ghee is not the remedy of choice in conditions of ama.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Interesting. I've asked Dr. Suhas Kshirsagar about this, and he said the milk solids should be strained and thrown away. http://www.hawaiiholisticmedicine.com/dr_suhas_kshirsagar.php Patti Garland Ayurvedic Chef and LifeStyle Coach Bliss Kitchen http://www.BlissKitchen.com (760) 902-7020 On Sep 20, 2007, at 5:22 AM, mandv m wrote: the milk solids will not go bad - i do not put ghee in the fridge.

I agree with this since I believe that the proteins have been damaged by the long heating. These proteins should not be eaten in sweets and other dishes although it is a common practice to do so - these proteins are very difficult to digest and cause heavy ama.
