Concerning the three Doshas, Ghee balances Vata, Pitta, and Kapha in moderation.

Ghee has divided into two groups in Ayurvedic literature. They are Nava (New)and Purana (ancient) ghee. Purana Ghrita or Purana Ghee is ghee that has been preserved for a year in an airtight container, according to Bhava Prakasha.
