Recommended by Ayurveda Experts... 5 Amazing Benefits of Drinking Warm Water with Ghee

SadaNews - Throughout the centuries, Ayurveda has emphasized the use of natural remedies that should be followed to enjoy good health and balance in the body.

Ayurveda is a traditional medical system that originated in ancient India over 3000 years ago, and it is considered one of the oldest therapeutic systems in the world, still practiced today. The term is derived from Sanskrit: Ayur (Ayur) meaning "life," and Veda (Veda) meaning knowledge or science.

Among the traditional practices of Ayurveda that are making a comeback is the drinking of warm water with ghee, according to a report by "Health Site."

Ghee is typically used in cooking and adding flavor in Indian cuisine. However, it also possesses excellent medicinal properties.

When mixed with warm water, ghee becomes an effective body cleanser that improves metabolism and digestion, removes toxins from the body, and enhances overall health.

What are the benefits of drinking warm water with ghee?

Here are 5 amazing health benefits of drinking warm water with ghee to aid digestion and why you should consider implementing it.

1- Enhances Digestive Fire (Agni)

In Ayurveda, digestion is also associated with what is called Agni, or digestive fire, responsible for processing and absorbing food. Consuming warm water with ghee is one natural way to activate this digestive fire in the morning; the warmth of the water softens food particles, and also helps to soothe the digestive system.

2- Acts as a Natural Detoxifier

Toxins can burden our digestive system, which might be due to the abundance of processed foods we consume, stress, or irregular eating habits.

Warm water helps eliminate these toxins. When combined with ghee, it forms a gentle and effective detoxification process. Ghee contains butyric acid, a short-chain fatty acid believed to improve gut health and help cleanse it.

Daily use helps the liver and intestines expel waste more quickly and maintains a healthy system while aiding in weight loss.

3- Improves Nutrient Absorption

The body’s ability to absorb nutrients properly is one of the most neglected factors in proper digestion. Regardless of how healthy your diet is, unless it is absorbed properly in the body, you will not receive its full value.

Ghee contains fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, K, E), which are very important for overall health.

4- Soothes the Stomach and Prevents Acidity

Many people often experience stomach acidity, stomach pain, or indigestion after meals. Ghee coats the stomach lining, making it resistant to excess acidity. Warm water helps balance pH levels and soothes digestive tract inflammation when using ghee.

When mixed together, they protect against acidity, indigestion, and the burning sensation felt after consuming spicy or oily food.

5- Supports Healthy Bowel Movement

Ghee has been used as a natural laxative in Ayurvedic medicine by some of its well-known practitioners to treat constipation. It softens stools, lubricates the intestines, and stimulates regular bowel movements without the need for chemical laxatives.

Consuming a cup of warm water 10 to 15 minutes before bed at night or in the morning on an empty stomach with a teaspoon of ghee is particularly beneficial for those suffering from constipation.

How do we drink warm water with ghee?

- Use one cup of warm water (not too hot).

- Add a teaspoon of pure cow ghee.

- Add sufficient water, mix well, and consume either first thing in the morning on an empty stomach or before bedtime.

For even more effective results, ensure you use organic homemade ghee free from preservatives.
