Ghee — Unique Property of Yogavahi

योगवाहिगुणः

Ghee possesses a unique property called Yogavahi — it carries and enhances the properties of substances mixed with it without losing its own inherent qualities. This makes ghee the ideal vehicle (Anupana) and base for medicinal preparations. When ghee is processed with bitter herbs, it acquires bitter properties while retaining its cooling and nourishing nature. When processed with Rasayana herbs, it enhances their rejuvenative effects. This Sanskaranuvartan (ability to absorb qualities through processing) quality is described as being unique to ghee among all fatty substances. Due to this property, hundreds of medicated ghee preparations (Ghrita Kalpana) are described in Ayurvedic therapeutics for treating diverse diseases. Verse 19.
