Ghritham
Ghrithams are ghee based preparations in which the ghee is boiled with medicinal herbs and kashayas according to the methods prescribed in the vedas. This boiling process results in the absorption of the herbs and their properties alongwith the ghee. Later this mixture is cooled down which results in semi solidification of the ghrita. Ghritams are generally prescribed for internal use only while some of them are also used externally and also in some panchakarma treatments such as basti/ vasti.
