Introduction: Returning to Our Roots
In a time when wellness trends rise and fall rapidly, one ancient Indian superfood has consistently stood the test of time — ghee. But not just any ghee — A2 Bilona Ghee, handcrafted using the Vedic Bilona method, is now being rediscovered for its unmatched purity, rich nutrition, and deep cultural significance.
At Bharat Vedica, we believe that true wellness is rooted in tradition. Our A2 Bilona Ghee is not just a product; it is a return to India's Ayurvedic heritage, made with love, respect for nature, and reverence for our indigenous cows.
What is A2 Bilona Ghee?
A2 Bilona Ghee is a type of clarified butter made from A2 milk sourced fromvIndian Gir Cows. It is prepared using a 5,000-year-old Ayurvedic process called the Bilona method, which involves boiling, culturing, hand-churning, and slow clarification.
This process ensures that the nutrients, bioactive compounds, and flavor of the ghee remain intact — something that machine-made or cream-based ghees often lack.
Quick Definition:
-
A2 Ghee = Ghee made from A2 milk (contains only A2 beta-casein protein).
-
Bilona Method = Traditional Vedic process of making ghee from curd, not cream.
What is A2 Milk and Why is It Important?
Milk from Indian cow breeds contains only the A2 beta-casein protein, which is structurally different from the A1 protein found in most commercial cow milk (like Jersey or Holstein). Numerous studies suggest that A2 milk is easier to digest, causes less inflammation, and is nutritionally superior.
A2 Milk Contains:
-
A2 beta-casein
-
High omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids
-
Rich Vitamin A, D, E, and K
-
Better calcium absorption
This makes ghee derived from A2 milk a powerhouse of nutrition, especially for those seeking natural, chemical-free, and easily digestible dairy alternatives.
The Bilona Method: A Sacred Process
Unlike industrial ghee that is made by heating cream at high temperatures and mass-producing it through machines, Bilona ghee is crafted by hand using the following process:
Step-by-Step Bilona Process at Bharat Vedica:
-
Sourcing A2 Milk
We source fresh, raw A2 milk daily from ethically raised gir cows. -
Boiling the Milk
The milk is boiled over cow dung cakes or wood fire, enhancing sattvic energy. -
Culturing into Curd
The milk is cooled and set into curd overnight using a natural curd starter. -
Hand-Churning (Bilona)
The curd is churned early in the morning using a wooden valona (churner) in a clockwise–anti-clockwise motion. This separates the makhan (butter) from buttermilk. -
Clarifying into Ghee
The butter is then gently simmered on fire to obtain golden ghee, with natural aroma and granules. -
Straining and Storage
The ghee is filtered using a muslin cloth and stored in glass jars to retain purity.
This method retains maximum nutrients, unlike industrial methods where the focus is on quantity and shelf-life over quality.
Health Benefits of A2 Bilona Ghee
Let’s explore in detail why A2 Bilona Ghee is considered a Rasayana (life-enhancing substance) in Ayurveda and modern nutrition:
1. Improves Digestion Naturally
A2 ghee activates Agni (digestive fire), which is responsible for digesting food, absorbing nutrients, and eliminating toxins.
Use: Add a spoonful of ghee to your meals or rice — it aids in digestion and prevents constipation.
2. Strengthens Immunity
The butyric acid in A2 Bilona Ghee strengthens gut lining and improves gut microbiota, the foundation of your immune system.
Use: Add to warm water or milk with turmeric during cold or flu.
3. Anti-Inflammatory & Detoxifying
It reduces internal inflammation, lubricates joints, and flushes toxins from the system — ideal for conditions like arthritis or IBS.
4. Excellent for Brain & Eye Health
Packed with DHA, A2 ghee nourishes brain cells and improves memory, especially in children and elderly.
Ayurveda prescribes ghee as medhya rasayana, meaning it enhances intelligence and memory.
5. Good Fats for Heart Health
Contrary to myths, moderate consumption of A2 ghee lowers LDL (bad cholesterol) and boosts HDL (good cholesterol).
6. Supports Skin & Hair Health
It moisturizes from within. You can also apply it on chapped lips, dry skin, or as a natural baby massage oil.
7. Balances Doshas
According to Ayurveda, A2 ghee balances Vata and Pitta, and pacifies Kapha when used in moderation.
