Is ghee hot or cold for the body?

In Ayurveda, foods are often classified according to their impact on the body’s internal balance of the doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha). Ghee is considered to have a “cooling” effect on the body, according to this traditional system of medicine. This means it is believed to balance Pitta dosha, which is associated with heat, and is therefore recommended for individuals with a Pitta constitution or those experiencing Pitta imbalances, such as excess heat or inflammation in the body.

In the broader sense of nutrition and health, ghee is simply a source of dietary fat, rich in saturated fats and fat-soluble vitamins.
