In summer, your skin often tells you what your body is going through.

Redness.
Burning sensation.
Sensitivity.
Unexpected breakouts.

You try creams, face washes, or quick fixes.
Some help temporarily. Most don’t last.

Ayurveda looks at this differently.
It focuses on cooling, healing, and restoring the skin from within and outside.

One such classical preparation is Shata Dhauta Ghrita.

What Is Shata Dhauta Ghrita?

Shata Dhauta Ghrita literally means ghee washed a hundred times.

It is prepared by repeatedly washing pure ghee with water in a specific process. This transforms its texture, potency, and action on the skin.

What starts as ghee becomes:
• Light
• Smooth
• Easily absorbable
• Deeply cooling

This is a classical Ayurvedic preparation used for skin healing and balance.

The Classical Preparation Process (Shata Dhauta Method)

This is the most important step that defines its therapeutic quality.

Pure ghee is taken in a clean vessel, traditionally a copper vessel, and mixed with cold water, often kept cool or slightly chilled to enhance the cooling property. The mixture is then continuously churned and worked using hand movements similar to kneading dough.

As this process continues, the ghee begins to interact with water, and the mixture turns slightly cloudy.

At this stage:
• The cloudy water is carefully drained out
• Fresh water is added again
• The mixture is once again kneaded and churned in the same way

This entire process of:
mixing → kneading → washing → draining

is repeated 100 times.

With each cycle:
• The heaviness of ghee reduces
• The texture becomes finer
• The consistency becomes softer and cream-like
• The cooling property increases significantly

After completing this process, the final product becomes:
• Extremely light
• Soft and smooth in texture
• Easily spreadable on the skin
• Deeply cooling in nature

This transformed preparation is known as Shata Dhauta Ghrita.

Why It Works So Well in Summer

As heat increases, the body experiences:
• Increased internal heat
• Skin sensitivity
• Irritation and inflammation

Shata Dhauta Ghrita helps by:
• Providing a natural cooling effect
• Reducing redness and burning
• Supporting skin barrier repair
• Calming heat related skin reactions

It works by soothing and restoring balance, not just masking symptoms.

Prepared the Ayurvedic Way at Ojas

At Ojas Ayurved, Shata Dhauta Ghrita is prepared with strict adherence to classical Ayurvedic methods and principles.

The process follows traditional techniques of repeated washing, ensuring the ghee transforms into a fine, cooling, and skin-friendly formulation. Each batch is prepared with attention to purity, consistency, and therapeutic value.

This ensures that what you apply is not just a product, but a carefully developed Ayurvedic formulation guided by knowledge and experience.

When Can You Use It?

It is especially helpful when you notice:

• Sun exposure or tanning
• Burning sensation on the skin
• Redness or irritation
• Dry, sensitive skin
• Minor rashes or heat related discomfort

It can also be used as part of a daily summer skincare routine.

How to Use Shata Dhauta Ghrita

Take a small quantity and apply a thin layer on clean skin.

It can be gently applied on:
• Face for cooling and nourishment
• Under eyes to soothe dryness and fatigue
• Soles of the feet to help calm excess heat in the body
• Body areas experiencing dryness, irritation, or sensitivity

Prefer application in the evening or after sun exposure for best results.

Why It Feels Different from Regular Creams

Most modern skincare focuses on quick, surface level results.

Shata Dhauta Ghrita works differently.

It:
• Nourishes deeply
• Supports natural healing
• Helps restore skin balance
• Works gently without overwhelming the skin

It is not about instant glow.
It is about long term skin health.

The Ayurvedic Understanding

In Ayurveda, skin concerns in summer are often linked to:
• Internal heat
• Digestive imbalance
• Environmental exposure

Shata Dhauta Ghrita supports the external healing process, while internal correction ensures lasting results.

Cooling the Skin Is Not Just About Products

True skin balance comes from:
• What you apply
• What you eat
• How your body manages heat

Shata Dhauta Ghrita becomes most effective when used as part of a holistic Ayurvedic approach.
