The Power of Ghee for Menopausal Women
For menopausal women, especially those who are vata and pitta predominant, ghee is a kind of miracle medicine and elixir of life. In the world of Ayurveda, ghee is one of three top most important food substances to add to your diet.
What is Ghee?
Ghee is clarified butter which has been even further cooked, removing difficult to digest proteins.
New Moon Ghee: Potent Clarified Butter with Intentions
Well, it's simply ghee, super potent clarified butter, made during the New Moon and infused with your intentions and gratitude. Why the New moon? Many rituals are geared towards the full moon and both of these times are very special from a witchy, biodynamic spiritual perspective. I happen to like making ghee on the new moon.
The new moon is a time of potential, new beginnings, and harnessing the energy for positive change and growth.
Ayurvedic Benefits of Ghee for Menopause Symptoms
Why do I need ghee if I'm having menopausal symptoms?
From an Ayurvedic perspective, menopause transitions the body from a heated (pitta) to a dry (vata) state, causing symptoms like heartburn, hot flushes, and dry skin. Ghee, known as the elixir of life, has rejuvenative properties, is anti-inflammatory, and serves as an internal lubricant.
Ghee as an Elixir for Menopausal Women
In India, ghee has been called the elixir of life.
Ghee has many amazing nutrients which assist in the reduction of menopausal symptoms. When Charaka (a predecessor to Hippocrates - the father of Western Medicine) said let food be thy medicine - this is one of the foods he meant.
Ghee for Digestive Health and Inflammation
Ghee is especially important in digestive health, internal lubrication and inflammatory conditions.

Why Make Homemade Ghee?
Why make ghee at home instead of buying it?
Homemade ghee costs less than store-bought and ensures freshness and proper handling. Store-bought ghee can be expensive and its quality may be compromised during shipping. Making ghee at home only requires the cost of butter and less than an hour of your time.
Cost-Effective and Fresh
How does ghee compare to coconut oil?
Ghee deeply penetrates the tissues, even passing the blood-brain barrier to nourishing and calm the mind. Ghee can be used any time of year for its balanced qualities. Coconut oil remains on the surface and only minimally penetrates the tissues.
Ghee's Deep Tissue Penetration Benefits
Hi!
I’m Chitra (pronounced Chih-truh), a Doctor of Ayurveda specializing in women’s health.
I help peri through post menopausal women who have been dealing with symptoms like hot flashes, brain fog, sleeplessness, lethargy and mood swings. Not only does their body feel foreign but they feel isolated and unheard, in a medical system which doesn't prioritize women's health, in a society biased against aging.
I love educating women around choices for the body in the Art of Menopausing with the wisdom of Ayurveda. We then put that wisdom into practice so women can get on with the business of being the magnificent creatures they are.

During my studies to become a Doctor of Ayurveda, I realized women’s health systems are largely centered around fertility and childbirth. As a childless cat lady, I found this focus difficult to relate to and completely irrelevant to my experience. Going through menopause myself, I saw there were few resources and no one to talk to, which made me want to support other women through this life stage.
