These days, many of the beauty treatments you can get at day spas and salons include edible ingredients. People get salt scrubs, seaweed wraps and honey facials all the time. However, have you ever heard of a ghee eye treatment?
According to
Daily Candy, there is
a spa in suburban Philadelphia that offers an Ayurvedic treatment called Netra Basti, in which a ring of dough is placed around the eye and the well is then filled with gently warmed clarified butter. Once the ghee has been poured, the individual receiving the treatment slowly opens their eye so that their optic nerve can get a buttery bath.
It is said to be an excellent treatment for strained vision, itchiness, dryness and glaucoma. It is also smoothes the wrinkles around the eyes. As we head into allergy season, I can see how it could be good for your pollen-inflamed peepers as well.
Conventional wisdom when it comes to cooking with butter is that you need to be careful with it, as it has a fairly low smoke point. Often times, when I want the taste of butter in my food, I'll combine it with olive oil, to be able to take it up to a higher temperature and still get the flavor. However, there is a way to use butter so that you get the full flavor along with a remarkably high smoke point.
