The Rise of the Morning Ghee Shot in India

Across India, a new wellness ritual is making noise on social media — the morning ghee shot. Many people claim that consuming a spoonful of ghee on an empty stomach can boost digestion, improve immunity, and even add a natural glow to the skin. But is this just another passing trend, or does it really have benefits?

🌿 Why Ghee Became the Hero

Ghee has always been celebrated in Ayurveda for centuries. Known as a “superfood” in Indian kitchens, it is packed with healthy fats, fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K), and antioxidants.

• In Ayurveda, ghee is considered sattvic — food that balances the body and mind.
• Modern nutritionists see it as a source of good fats that help with joint health, skin nourishment, and brain function.

✅ Potential Benefits of a Ghee Shot

1. Improves Digestion – Ghee stimulates stomach acid production, which can aid metabolism.
2. Boosts Immunity – Its antioxidants may help fight inflammation.
3. Supports Skin & Hair Health – Healthy fats promote hydration and a natural glow.
4. Lubricates Joints – Traditional belief says it helps keep joints flexible.

⚠️ But Here’s the Catch

Like any trend, it’s not one-size-fits-all.

• Overconsumption can raise cholesterol and contribute to weight gain.
• People with heart disease, obesity, or high cholesterol should be cautious.
• Nutritionists suggest not more than 1–2 teaspoons per day.

🥄 How to Take It (If You Want to Try)

• Morning Ritual: Take 1 teaspoon of pure cow ghee on an empty stomach, followed by lukewarm water.
• Alternative: Mix ghee with warm turmeric milk or spread it on multigrain roti.
• Always use pure, good quality ghee — preferably homemade or certified brands.

💡 Final Thoughts

The morning ghee shot trend shows how ancient traditions are being rediscovered in modern wellness culture. While ghee does have genuine health benefits, moderation and personalization are key. What works for one may not suit another — so it’s wise to listen to your body and, if needed, consult a doctor or nutritionist before making it a daily ritual.
