Ghee massage is used to cure disturbances in Pitta and Vata. The ancient Susruta Samhita text claims ghee is good for all parts of the body, and it is the ultimate overall remedy for pitta (inflammatory) problems and is the medium (anupan) of choice for mixing medicines for these conditions.
Ghee massage is used to support the treatments of diseases, rejuvenating treatments (rasayana) and aphrodisiac treatments (vajikarana). Furthermore, ghee is said to promote memory, intelligence, quantity, and to enhance digestion. We do know from modern science that ghee is rich in phenolic antioxidants.
