Goat Ghee

अजघृतम्

Goat ghee (Aja Ghrita) is lighter than cow ghee and beneficial for the eyes (Chakshushya). It kindles the digestive fire and is easy to digest. It is particularly useful in Kasa (cough), Shvasa (dyspnea/asthma), and Kshaya (consumption/wasting). Due to its lightness, it is suitable for persons with weak digestive fire (Manda Agni). It alleviates all three doshas and is especially recommended in diseases of the eyes and respiratory system. Verse 7.
