Ayurveda considers pure ghee to be sāttvik or sattva-guṇi (in the "mode of goodness") when used in food. It is the main ingredient in some of the Ayurvedic medicines and is included under catuh mahā sneha (the four main oils: ghṛta, taila, vasā, and majjā) along with sesame oil, muscle fat, and bone marrow. Ghee is also used in Ayurveda in the treatment of constipation and ulcers.
