Enhances digestion and metabolism when taken in moderation.
Balances hormones and strengthens immunity.

Morning (on an empty stomach) â Best for gut health and digestion; follow it with warm water.
With meals â Add 1 teaspoon to dal, rice, or roti for better absorption of nutrients.
At bedtime (with warm milk) â Beneficial for sound sleep and nerve relaxation.
As a part of Ayurvedic detox (Ghee therapy in Panchakarma) â Taken in larger quantities under guidance.
Who Should Avoid Ghee on an Empty Stomach?
Kapha-dominant individuals (prone to sluggish digestion, obesity, or high cholesterol).

Hello,
Please DON'T. Ghee is very good for digestion and does wonders in our body. But there is a specific way and time to consume it.
As our digestive capacity is weak at morning and ghee is heavy to digest it will cause so much digestive problems.
Try to consume it like pouring in dosa etc.
