Traditionally, Butter Tea is used in Tibet to replenish the nutritional deficiency caused by the lack of vegetables and fruits in the plateau environment. Tibetan medicine believes that drinking more butter tea in the plateau environment can strengthen one’s physique, nourish the intestines and stomach, and energize the body. The aromatic substances in the tea can dissolve fat and help digestion.
