Ghee

Ghee is a popular Ayurvedic treatment for mending cracks. Butyrate acid is found in ghee. Early research suggests that this fatty acid might help with digestion, and it's increasingly being utilized to treat and prevent gastrointestinal diseases including diarrhea and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Anecdotal evidence supports the use of ghee as a natural laxative as well. To improve regular bowel movements, Ayurvedic health practitioners recommend eating 1 teaspoon of ghee in milk or water. While this is a healthy procedure, it adds extra saturated fat and calories to your diet, and no research has proven its advantages for this purpose.
