Ghee is butter from which the milk-fat solids have been removed.
In Ayurveda, ghee has long been acknowledged as the optimum oil to use in cooking and healing. During this season of flurries of activity and wind and cold, ghee can help hold heat and moisture in the body and provide a calm interior. Ghee may be used in cooking or taken by itself. Two or three teaspoons during a 24-hour period works well to harmonize all the body's systems. Place butter in a heavy bottomed saucepan over medium heat for about 20 minutes.
