>Hunh? What positive effect could cooking possibly have on butter?

Well, it's hard to mix the paradigms. In Ayurveda, where ghee has a

prominent place in the dietary regimen, cooking changes the subtle energy

of the food. When butter is cooked it gives it a certain ability to bring

the medicinal value of the herbs it is used with, deeper into the tissues.

These things have been observed by Ayurvedic physicians for thousands of

years, and I have no idea how to explain them otherwise. If I can come up

with anything, I'll let you know!

I don't see that being the same thing. Milk is identified as milk as it

comes straight from the animal, so " pasteurized " works as an adjective. But

the word ghee in itself implies that it's cooked.
