Can sleeping with an oil or ghee lamp in your room lead to uninterrupted rest?
Good quality sleep at night is extremely essential for the body to feel relaxed and recharged. But a lot of people complain of restless nights with poor quality sleep. If you, too, struggle with uninterrupted sleep, and no method has successfully worked, here's an ancient Ayurveda hack that might just come in handy.
According to holistic health coach Shlloka Joshii, sleeping in a room with a ghee lamp a few feet away from you, or a lamp with castor oil in it, can do wonders to help you sleep better.
Ghee is known to have a lot of health benefits. When it comes to sleep, she said inhaling the smoke that comes out of ghee allows for better respiratory function and calms your nervous system.
From a nutritional standpoint, Kanikka Malhotra, consultant dietician and certified diabetes educator, shared that many dermatologists passionately advocate for its use inside and out, but as a qualified dietitian, she urges nuance. 'Ghee is undeniably nutrient-rich, supplying vitamins A, D, E, and K—compounds that support glowing skin and cell repair when eaten in moderation as part of a balanced diet. These nutrients, when absorbed through a well-rounded menu, can subtly enhance skin health over time,' said Malhotra.
The nutritionist added, 'This, in turn, reduces acidity and improves sleep. You do know that sleep and excretion, all of digestion, in fact, are linked. Poor digestion and assimilation are also linked with low vitamin D and B12 levels as well. Improved sleep will also lead to improved fat loss, moods and skin tone.'
According to her, a ghee lamp can help counter the following problems:
*Snoring problems
*Disturbed sleep
*Indigestion/ farting/ burping
*IBS and chronic constipation who need fibre or pills daily
*People on daily antacids
Finally, she advised choose only pure, organic, or homemade ghee without additives. 'Ghee is not a substitute for medical treatment for respiratory problems like blocked nose or dealing with eczema, psoriasis, or other skin conditions; it can be used as a gentle addition under supervision,
