Cow ghee is good
When it comes to deciding between cow and buffalo ghee, especially in the context of digestive issues, both have distinct properties according to Ayurveda. Cow ghee is often considered more beneficial for those dealing with digestive problems. It is traditionally perceived as lighter and generally easier to digest compared to buffalo ghee. The key here is its effect on Agni, or the digestive fire. Cow ghee tends to enhance digestion and can help balance the Vata and Pitta doshas without overly aggravating the Kapha dosha.
Buffalo ghee, on the other hand, is richer and has a heavier quality, making it more suitable for individuals with strong digestive capacity who need grounding. It’s often recommended for its nourishing properties, especially to those who have a leaner build or are seeking to stabilize their energy levels. However, it might not be the best bet if your digestion is currently compromised, causing bloating or heaviness.
For practical use, considering you’ve had a little digestive upset with cow ghee in your khichdi, evaluate other ingredients and what else you ate that day. Sometimes, issues aren’t purely from the ghee but from its combination with other elements. Start small, maybe about half a teaspoon of cow ghee, and observe how your body reacts. If your digestion seems stable, gradually increase as your system adjusts.
If you do wish to experiment with buffalo ghee, use it in moderation, perhaps in smaller quantities initially incorporated into your meal after cooking, and see how it affects you. Also, ensure other factors align, like the time you eat and eating in a calm environment, to support digestion.
Trust your body’s signals. Since it’s summer, and digestion might be naturally less robust due to heat, often cow ghee suits better. Additionally, consulting with an Ayurvedic practitioner could give you a more personalized regimen because they can assess your unique constitution (prakriti) and current state of dosha imbalance (vikriti) for a thorough recommendation.
It depends on ur need. Both have their own benifits.
