The benefits of ghee are plenty. And that’s the reason why our ancestors hailed it as a golden crown jewel of our Indian cuisine. From smearing it on hot chapatis to adding a dollop of it on rice, ghee has a special place in our kitchens. It not only elevates our cooking but also packs our bodies with fat-soluble vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids. But have you heard a variant of ghee infused with 24-carat gold? Known to be highly beneficial for one’s health, Swarna Bhasma is 24-carat gold-infused ghee, gate-keeped by Ayurveda practitioners.

The shining, gleaming ghee is bottled and ready for consumption. Talk about the Midas touch! In the caption, Dr Dixa mentions that this ghee is made with the milk of Gir-Cow through the Bilona method. Since it’s infused with gold, the Ayurveda practitioner stated that this ghee imparts more benefits than regular ghee.
Furthermore, she explains that Ayurveda considers ghee as ‘Yogavahi’. This means the clarified butter assumes the characteristics of the herb or medicine it accompanies. Thus ensuring it penetrates all the tissues of one’s body. As this ghee is made with 24-carat gold, it’s considered to be more efficient and penetrative.
