🪔 Why Is It Washed 100 Times?

In Ayurveda, “Shata” means 100, “Dhauta” means washed, and “Ghrita” means ghee.
Washing pure cow's ghee 100 times using cold water in a copper or silver vessel transforms its texture and energy.

This process makes the ghee:

• Cool to touch and to the body (Pitta-pacifying)

• Non-sticky and ultra-absorbent

• Silky soft with nano-sized particles for better skin penetration

Ayurveda believes this transformation improves its Vishaghna (anti-toxic) and Vrana Ropana (wound-healing) qualities.

🧴 Step-by-Step Preparation of Shatadhauta Ghrita:

🔁 Step 1: Set the Intent

Choose a clean, calm space. Traditionally, this is done while chanting mantras or in a meditative state.

💧 Step 2: Add 100 ml ghee in the flat copper bowl

Ensure it is at room temperature and soft (not hot).

💦 Step 3: Pour a little cold water

Add enough to just mix with the ghee (about 200 ml at a time).

🌀 Step 4: Start Washing

With a clean wooden spatula (or fingers), stir gently but continuously in one direction ideally 100 rotation for 3–5 minutes.

🚿 Step 5: Drain & Repeat

Once it emulsifies and water separates slightly, discard the water and repeat the process with fresh cold water.

🔁 Step 6: Repeat this process 100 times

Yes, a full 100 washes. Each round improves the softness, whiteness, and absorbency.
You'll notice the ghee becomes light, creamy, and almost lotion-like.

💡 Pro tip: Do 10 washes at a time, rest, then resume. You can store it in a cool space between sessions.

🌸 Final Texture & Storage:

Once complete, the ghee turns into a cool, white, whipped cream-like balm.
Store it in a sterile glass jar in a cool, dark place. Shelf life is about 3–6 months without preservatives if kept clean.
