How To Consume Ghee Based on Tridosha Imbalance?

Ghee innately balances Pitta and Vata Dosha.  – ghritam pittaanilaharam | – Ashtanga Hrudaya, Sutrasthana. But ghee is specifically told as the most effective remedy for Pitta balance. (Sesame oil is for Vata and honey is for Kapha).

But if ghee is advised for intake for people with Vata and Kapha balance, then how to take it? The answer is –

Sanskrit Shloka 

मारुतेऽभ्यधिके सर्पिः सदा सलवणं हितम्।
केवलं त्वधिके पित्ते, कफे सत्र्यूषणं तथा॥
mārute’bhyadhike sarpiḥ sadā salavaṇaṃ hitam|
kevalaṃ tvadhike pitte, kaphe satryūṣaṇaṃ tathā|| – Sarvanga Sundari commentary on Ashtanga Hrudaya Sutrasthana 16/22

In case of Vata Dosha increase, ghee is administered along with rock salt (Saindhava lavana) or common salt.
In case of Pitta Dosha increase, ghee is administered alone, without mixing anything else.
In case of Kapha Dosha increase, ghee is administered along with Trikatu churna (a combination of ginger, pepper and long pepper).

Ghee with salt for Vata Dosha:

Sweet, salt and sour substances balance Vata dosha. Hence, using ghee along with salt is very useful for Vata balance.

How to take?
A teaspoon of ghee mixed with a pinch of salt, once or twice a day. Or if you are using ghee in your diet, consider mixing a pinch of salt to it and use it in diet.

Ghee reduces sugar side effects

How to reduce sugar craving in children? 
Dr JV Hebbar 
Children love sweets. They can replace their meal with just candies, cakes and bakery items. But excess sugar intake by children causes decreased brain functionalities, obesity, dental caries, developmental delays, diabetes, mood changes, lack of focus, hyper-irritability etc. 
These side effects are primarily due to reasons. 
Rapid absorption of sugar by the body, causing a sudden “high” and energetic feeling makes the child crave for more sugar. 
Once the sugar level starts dropping drastically, the temporary hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) causes the child to throw uncontrolled tantrums which forces the parents to give more sweets. This vicious cycle makes the child hate fruits, vegetables and other healthy foods.

Solution
Use more ghee in your diet. Replace the white sugar with jaggery (sweet molasses / Gur / brown sugar). For example, make sweets at home using jaggery and ghee in it – best example is laddu (ladoo) made of sesame seeds and dry fruits ladoo made with walnut, raisins, almond, sesame seeds, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds etc, with melted jaggery and of course, ghee.

How it works? 

Ghee fatty acids compete with sugar for absorption thus delaying sugar absorption. Hence the sugar is not rapidly absorbed and thus that quick spiking and sudden drop of sugar levels is avoided (1), solving most of the problems that sugar brings.
