Guideline 4 - Rub ghee on the soles of your feet for a restful sleep

Winters are the time when most people have aches and pains in the joints and have sleepless nights. Is there a kitchen secret that helps you sleep like a baby? What if I told you there is but it isn’t a pill, its ghee. Yes, ghee is not a panchamrit for nothing. Adding it to your meal of course helps digestion and assimilation of nutrients but did you know that application of it to the soles of your feet helps excretion?

How –
1. Keep a little dabbi of ghee on your bedside.
2. Take a drop of it on your little finger and spread it on your feet.
3. With the sole of your palm rub the sole of your foot till it feels warm
4. Repeat on the other foot.
5. Go to a restful sleep.

Who – Everyone will benefit from this, but especially those who -
1. Have snoring problems
2. Have disturbed sleep
3. Have indigestion/ farting/ burping
4. IBS and chronic constipation who need fibre or pills daily
5. People on daily antacids

Why –
According to oral traditions, application of ghee allows for the vata to settle and reduces gas and bloating. This in turn reduces acidity and improves sleep. You do know that sleep and excretion, all of digestion, in fact, is linked. Poor digestion and assimilation is also linked with low Vit D & B12 levels as well. Improved sleep will also lead to improved fat loss, moods and skin tone.

Alternatives to ghee –
1. Coconut oil
2. Kokum butter
