To prevent attacks of
seasonal allergies - Lubricate the nasal passages with
warm ghee, or clarified butter. Using an eyedropper or the
tip of your little finger, put about three drops in each
nostril three times a day, morning, midday and evening.
This will make it hard for allergens to penetrate the
nasal passages.
How to Make Ghee -
- This mixture
produces enough to last for several weeks. Store in a
tightly closed container on the kitchen shelf. Ghee
does not need refrigeration, and according to
Ayurvedic practitioners, the cooking process burns off
the cholesterol.
-
- * Melt two pounds
of unsalted butter in a heavy saucepan over medium
heat.
- * As soon as the
butter begins to boil and foam, reduce the heat to a
simmer. Keep the melted butter at a steady simmer
until it is golden in color and no foam remains on
top.
- * Stir occasionally
after the whitish curds sink to the bottom. When these
curds turn light tan, the ghee is ready.
- * Cool the mixture
and strain it into a sterile quart jar. Discard the
curds from the bottom, as they are almost pure
cholesterol.
