Women’s wellness ghee

Medicinal ghee has been used in Ayurveda for thousands of years. Shatavari has a special affinity for nourishing and supporting the female reproductive system, and ghee is an excellent vehicle for carrying herbs to the deeper tissues of the body. The combination allows for a wonderful way to utilize the full potential of this rejuvenating herb.

Ingredients:

• 6 tablespoons (2 ounces) shatavari powder

• 32 ounces purified water

• 8 ounces ghee

• 2 tsp organic raw honey

• 1 tsp cinnamon powder

• 1/2 tsp cardamom powder

Directions:

In a pan, combine the shatavari and water and boil the mixture slowly over medium/low heat until the water is reduced to ¼ (8 ounces/1 cup). This may take an hour or two.

Using cheesecloth, or a very fine strainer, strain out the shatavari, reserving the liquid.

Add the ghee, cinnamon, cardamom and the Shatavari decoction to a pan and cook over low heat until all the water has evaporated. This can take up to two hours.

Cool, add honey, mix and transfer the Shatavari ghee to a glass jar with airtight lid.

Enjoy 1 teaspoon daily in warm water and increase as needed.
