Ghee aids in ensuring proper digestive health as well. Traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine as a topical cure for blisters and burns, ghee may also help in minimizing stomach acid while simultaneously repairing the gut’s lining. In fact, practitioners of said system of traditional medicine recommend ghee to those who suffer from peptic ulcers. Ghee, being entirely made of fat, helps in the production of digestive enzymes as well. When the latter are in balanced levels in the body by way of eating ghee regularly, then problems such as indigestion may be minimized.

Ghee is a potent source of butyric acid as well. A fatty acid which acts as an anti-viral agent in the body. butyric acid has been found effective at relieving inflammation caused by periodontal disease. Butyric acid’s esters and salts called butyrates, meanwhile, show potential for preventing and possibly even curing ulcerative colitis (UC), and therefore its most typical complication which is colorectal cancer. As it turns out, lack of butyrates in the body may bring about UC, and by incorporating butyrates in enemas, said condition may be addressed.  In yet another study, oral administration of butyrates was found to be effective at improving the intestinal mucosa’s inflammatory response, then again showing some promise as both a prevention and cure for UC.
