Desi Ghee Is an Ayurvedic Superfood

Why Desi Ghee Is a Superfood According to Ayurveda

In today’s health-conscious world, we often chase the next big superfood—from exotic berries to imported oils. But Ayurveda, India’s 5,000-year-old natural healing system, has always celebrated one timeless superfood: desi ghee. This golden elixir, made from butter that comes from curd, has been revered in Indian households for centuries—not just as a cooking ingredient but as a therapeutic powerhouse.

At Love Of India, we bring you the purest desi cow ghee, crafted with love from traditional methods, using A2 milk of indigenous cow breeds like Gir and Rathi. If you're looking to boost your health naturally, discover why pure desi cow ghee is the superfood your body craves.

The Ayurvedic Wisdom Behind Desi Ghee

In Ayurveda, desi ghee is considered sattvic—a food that promotes clarity, purity, and balance. It’s used in Panchakarma (Ayurvedic detox therapy), cooking, and even as a base in medicinal formulations. The texts call it a rejuvenator (Rasayana) that supports longevity, digestion, mental clarity, and immunity.

According to the Charaka Samhita (one of Ayurveda’s core texts), ghee made from cow’s milk is superior among all oils and fats. And not just any cow’s milk, but the milk of A2 cows, which are native Indian breeds like Gir and Rathi—known for their therapeutic value.

1. Desi Ghee Boosts Digestion Naturally

Ayurveda emphasizes digestion as the cornerstone of health. Desi ghee stimulates the secretion of stomach acids, improving digestion and nutrient absorption. A spoon of pure desi cow ghee in warm rice or dal isn’t just tradition—it’s science-backed nourishment.

Modern nutritionists agree: the short-chain fatty acid butyrate found in ghee supports gut health and reduces inflammation in the digestive tract.

2. Rich in Essential Fatty Acids & Vitamins

A2 Desi Cow Ghee is rich in Omega-3 and Omega-9 fatty acids, along with fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K. These support brain function, bone health, vision, and immune response.

Unlike refined oils that can oxidize and produce harmful compounds when heated, desi ghee has a high smoke point, making it ideal for Indian cooking—frying, roasting, or even sautéing.

3. A2 Cow Ghee Supports Heart Health

Yes, ghee was once misunderstood as unhealthy fat. But recent research has vindicated it. The conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) in A2 cow ghee helps lower bad cholesterol and increases good cholesterol. In moderation, ghee can support cardiovascular health far better than industrial seed oils.

Our Love Of India A2 Cow Ghee is made from the traditional bilona method, ensuring high nutrient retention and zero chemical processing.

4. Immunity Booster in Every Spoon

With its antimicrobial and antiviral properties, organic cow ghee acts as a natural immunity booster. Ayurveda recommends using ghee with herbs like turmeric or tulsi to enhance healing. During seasonal changes or illness recovery, ghee is your body’s gentle protector.

5. Supports Mental Health & Brain Development

Desi ghee is medhya—a brain tonic in Ayurveda. Rich in DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid), ghee nourishes brain cells and improves memory, focus, and cognitive function.

For children and seniors alike, regular consumption of Gir cow ghee supports healthy brain development and slows age-related mental decline.

6. Balances All Three Doshas

In Ayurvedic theory, health is achieved when the three doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) are in balance. Ghee is one of the few substances that pacifies all three.

  • It grounds Vata (air & space), providing lubrication.

  • It cools Pitta (fire), reducing inflammation.

  • And it doesn’t aggravate Kapha (water & earth) if taken in moderation.

This makes desi cow ghee universally beneficial—regardless of your body constitution.

7. Great for Skin, Joints & Hair

When consumed internally or applied externally, Rathi cow ghee nourishes tissues, lubricates joints, and improves skin elasticity. In ancient beauty rituals, ghee was used in face packs, oil baths, and hair masks.

Our Love Of India Pure Desi Cow Ghee is 100% chemical-free and perfect for holistic self-care.

8. Detoxifies & Heals Internally

In Ayurvedic detox (Shodhana), ghee plays a key role in Oleation (Snehana), where it penetrates deep tissues to draw out toxins. It also strengthens Agni (digestive fire), which is vital to removing metabolic waste (Ama).

This is why A2 Desi Cow Ghee is always used in Ayurvedic therapies and cleansing protocols.
