Ghee is often recommended in Ayurveda for many conditions and yeah, it can be helpful for piles, especially when we’re talking about managing constipation, which is a common trigger. You’re spot on about Vata dosha, it’s the dryness and irregularity that makes stuff worse. So, ghee — in moderation though — can aid in lubricating the intestines, making your bowel movement smoother. When you take it with warm milk at night, it’s a classic Ayurvedic remedy known to soften the stools and ease constipation. Some folks notice improvements in a week, others might take a bit more time. It varies by person.
As for applying it externally, ghee can soothe and reduce irritation, thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties. But between you and me, Ayurvedic oils like Jatyadi or Kasisadi are often more potent for direct application on piles because they’re tailored for such issues. Ghee is gentle, so if the irritation is mild, it can work, but the oils have additional herbs that might quicken the healing.
About fissures and chronic piles, ghee’s going to be your sidekick, not the superhero. It certainly helps in combination with things like Triphala, which supports digestion and cleansing. But remember it’s about balance — don’t overdo it. Excess anything can weigh on the digestion, so just a teaspoon or maybe two a day should be enough without driving up weight concerns or bogging down the metabolism, especially if it’s already sluggish.
Each body’s unique, right? So it’s useful to listen to your own body’s feedback and adjust accordingly. If you add lifestyle tweaks, like more fiber-rich foods and plenty of hydration, it makes a world of difference along with ghee.
Hope someone who tried these methods will chime in, but give it a shot. Just keep a mindful eye on how you feel and any changes that pop up!
