Carbohydrate, lipid and protein metabolism are the processes by which the body converts nutrients into energy and other essential molecules. According to Ayurveda, the overall metabolism of the body depends upon proper functioning of <em>Agni </em>and improper dietary habits cause deranged functioning of <em>Agni</em> leading to various metabolic disorders. Maintaining a strong <em>Agni</em>, balancing the <em>Doshas</em>, nourishing the <em>Dhathu</em> through a healthy diet is a key way to optimize metabolism. <em>Goghrta</em> (Cow’s ghee) has been given foremost importance and has been an inevitable part of diet in the Indian cuisine. Ayurveda considers <em>Goghrta</em> as the best among all fats. <em>Ghrta</em> can act on various levels of metabolism correcting the functions of <em>Agni, Doshas </em>and<em> Dhathus</em>. When digestion becomes normal <em>Poshaka dhathu</em> is formed from excellent <em>Ahara rasa</em> which enhances <em>Bala, Varna, Ojas</em> etc. The <em>Rasayana</em> effect of <em>Ghrta</em> helps to maintain the quality of <em>Dhathus</em> formed thereby promote health and longevity by improving metabolism and provides a healthy body. So it is good to include <em>Goghrta</em> in our daily diet in small quantities but large quantity may cause difficulty in digestion leading to <em>Ama</em> formation. Due to the<em> Samskarasya Anuvarthana </em>and<em> Yogavahi </em>property<em>, </em>medicated<em> Ghrta </em>makes it wider application in different diseased conditions. This review is to highlight the potential health benefits of <em>Goghrta</em> in metabolism and the role of medicated <em>Ghrta</em> in managing metabolic disorders.</p>}, number={2}, journal={AYUSHDHARA}, author={Asok.
