7 Science-Backed Benefits of Bilona Ghee You Should Know
Share
Bilona ghee isn’t just another health fad it’s a return to India's ancient wisdom. Unlike factory-made ghee, Bilona ghee is hand-churned using a time-honored two-day process that retains its natural nutrition, taste, and healing properties.
At Aadiras, we follow this pure Bilona method, sourcing milk from ethically raised indigenous Hallikar cows and buffaloes. Whether you're looking to boost digestion, support immunity, or nourish your skin, this golden elixir is the Ayurvedic superfat your body has been waiting for.
Let’s explore the 7 powerful, science-backed benefits of Bilona ghee and why it should be a staple in your wellness journey.
1. It’s Easier to Digest Than Regular Ghee or Butter
Because Bilona ghee is made from fermented curd, not cream, it’s naturally lighter on the stomach. People who feel bloated or heavy after eating regular ghee or butter often find that Bilona ghee digests more smoothly, even in small amounts. This makes it ideal for daily cooking, especially for kids, the elderly, or those with sensitive digestion.
Modern science confirms what Ayurveda always believed: ghee improves digestion and metabolism by enhancing Agni(digestive fire), the core of all health.
2. Packed with Fat-Soluble Vitamins (A, D, E, K2)
Bilona ghee is a natural source of:
- Vitamin A – For vision and immunity
- Vitamin D – For strong bones and calcium absorption
- Vitamin E – A powerful antioxidant for skin and cells
- Vitamin K2 – Helps calcium reach bones (not arteries)
Unlike commercial ghee, the slow-cooked Bilona process retains these vital nutrients.
3. Supports Heart Health (in Moderation)
Contrary to the outdated belief that fats are bad, recent studies show:
- Omega-3 fatty acids and CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) in Bilona ghee help reduce bad cholesterol (LDL) and improve good cholesterol (HDL)
- The absence of trans fats makes it safer than refined oils
Ayurveda prescribes ghee as a heart-nourishing fat when consumed in small daily doses.
4. Promotes Healthy Skin & Hair
Looking for a natural moisturizer? Bilona ghee has:
- Deeply hydrating properties for dry skin
- Healing benefits for eczema, rashes, and burns
- Nourishing fats for frizz-free, shiny hair
Whether you consume it or apply it topically, Bilona ghee offers holistic beauty care from the inside out.
5. High Smoke Point = Safe Cooking
Unlike most refined oils that break down under heat, Bilona ghee has a smoke point of ~250°C. That means:
- Nutrients remain intact during cooking
- No harmful free radicals are released
- Ideal for frying, sautéing, roasting, and even baking
This makes it the perfect daily-use fat for both modern and traditional Indian cooking.
6. Enhances Brain Function & Immunity
In Ayurveda, ghee is classified as a "Medhya Rasayana" a rejuvenator of the mind. It supports:
- Mental clarity and memory
- Nervous system strength
- Hormonal balance and fertility
Plus, its high nutrient density supports Ojas (immunity and vitality), especially during seasonal transitions.
7. Made with Purity, Ethics & Intention
The Bilona method involves:
- Boiling desi cow/buffalo milk
- Setting it into curd overnight
- Hand-churning curd into butter
- Slow-cooking butter into ghee over firewood
This labor-intensive process retains aroma, nutrition, and medicinal qualities without shortcuts, chemicals, or additives.
