Ghee has been used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine for centuries. Adding some ghee to your food may stimulate stomach acid production and bile flow, both essential for proper digestion. “Adding it to your meal, of course, helps digestion and assimilation of nutrients,” says Rujuta Diwekar, a nutritionist based in Mumbai, India. In a video shared on Instagram, she explained that people who struggle with indigestion, flatulence, burping, IBS, and chronic constipation may benefit from it. Ghee also contains butyric acid, which nourishes the gut lining and feeds beneficial gut bacteria.
