Poisons in very low quantity are used to treat diseases. Could it be that Ayurveda uses milk to treat the imbalance of the "doshas"?

As a food, Ghee was used so very sparingly that it was almost not used at all. We cannot compare the quantities we consume today with those before the Dairy Revolution.

The writers of the Rgveda certainly were members of a pastoralist society, so they would have had a decent amount of dairy, if not quite the same quantities as today.
