Ghee: Medicinal Uses and How to Make

Last week I wrote about various cooking oils that when used according to your energy constitutional makeup will bring you closer to balance and harmony  But there is one cooking oil that can be used by everyone anytime (except in moderation for PK people)  This cooking oil comes from unsalted butter, has a very high burning point(technically it’s called smoke point),  and best of all is highly medicinal  As a matter of fact it is a cornerstone in energy science therapies to heal IC bladder pain syndrome, chronic prostatitis, fibromyalgia, GERD, IBS, and amazingly even vulvodynia

Ghee: A Healthy Home Is Incomplete Without It

Remember when we were young and there was the rare treat of having lobster? Growing up in the Midwest it was an unusual happening but ….

What about that golden liquid butter that they served with the lobster for dipping? The menu said it was clarified butter but all I remember was that it was gooood with the lobster  Now the journey with clarified butter has come full circle and I understand it with a different perspective

From an energy science nutritional view clarified butter is named ghee and it’s not just melted butter  The clarification process frees the butter of the harmful fatty acids which are cooked out of the unsalted butter that you begin with   Literally the fatty acids are cooked out and you find them at the bottom of the cooking vessel as a slimy, oily, heavy, static, soft, slow/dull, liquid goo  Why would anyone want to put that into their mindbodies?

But what’s left is actually medicine  A food that is the oily essence of milk and with the fatty acids removed the ama producing qualities of butter go with it  That is, the slimy, heavy, static, soft, slow/dull, and liquid qualities are removed

The medicinal properties of ghee are extraordinary  It stimulates digestive fire, oleates the GI tract hence improving function, penetrates all the tissue layers of the mindbody within twenty four hours, and can serve as an excellent vehicle in proper circumstances to deliver herbs to all tissue layers of the body

The matter science nutritional literature is devoid of understanding the power of this type of food preparation because of its molecular approach to foods and diet  The mindbody is a richer reality than a sophisticated collection of molecules

The Preparation of Ghee

Here’s a link:   http://goo.gl/lJl4oy …… that beautifully takes you through a pictorial step by step process in ghee’s preparation   Pay attention to the last couple of steps so you don’t burn the ghee

But it’s a very simple process to do at home and much less expensive than buying it prepared

The wonderful thing about making your own ghee is that it gets you involved  If you’ve been a member of this energy science community for long you know that I’m all about having you take responsibility for your own healing  Healing doesn’t live in a pill or a magic procedure

No, healing lies in your participation  This is pivotal if you want to heal your IC from an energy science point of view

Detoxification and Ghee

As I have written earlier one of the aspects of healing is detoxification  That is, removing ama from the GIT as well as the peripheral deep tissues and channels  The urinary tract is a channel and as I have alluded to earlier is responsive to detoxification quite easily  Since ghee has similar properties to ama(undigested unprocessed food) which is a result of poor digestive strength(the energy science term for this is agni) when it penetrates tissues energetically it loosens the ama in the tissue and brings it back to the GIT for elimination

So ghee as an internal oleation food is central to the detoxification process if you are so inclined to take on such work  But I would have to say that detoxification is a primary energy science procedure if one is having trouble clearing IC symptoms
