Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Ghee, a form of clarified butter, is traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine for a variety of health purposes, including as a general tonic for the mind and body. In the context of addiction, ghee is sometimes included in Ayurvedic detoxification therapies (such as Panchakarma), where it is believed to help “lubricate” tissues and support the removal of toxins. However, there is minimal historical documentation specifically linking ghee with the treatment or support of addiction withdrawal or recovery. Scientific studies evaluating ghee’s direct effects on addiction or substance withdrawal are virtually nonexistent. Most references to ghee in addiction contexts are anecdotal or derived from broader Ayurvedic practices aimed at restoring balance and nourishing the body after the stresses of substance use. Thus, its use is justified primarily by tradition, with very limited or indirect evidence supporting any specific anti-addiction effect. There is no robust scientific validation for ghee as a remedy for addiction, and its inclusion in traditional protocols is more about general health and detoxification than direct addiction treatment.
