Yes, ghee can be helpful for hard stool/constipation, especially if taken at night with dinner or before sleep.
Why it helps ?
In Ayurveda, ghee is considered Vata-pacifying and a natural anulomana (mild laxative).
It lubricates the intestines, softens stools, and supports smooth evacuation & nourishes the colon (pakvashaya), which is the main seat of Vata.
& Regarding how much is safe for consumption:
Usually 1 teaspoon (5 ml) to 1 tablespoon (10-15 ml approx) daily is enough.
You can start with 1 teaspoon at dinner mixed in warm food or with a cup of warm milk.If stools remain hard, you can increase up to 1 tablespoon.
Next Steps
[ Results would be better if you take it in morning before brkfst]
Do you want me to also give you an Ayurvedic stool-softening diet plan (foods to add/avoid) along with ghee use?
Health Tips
Precautions:
Avoid excess (more than 2 tbsp/day) if you have obesity, uncontrolled diabetes, high cholesterol, or fatty liver.
Always take warm ghee (not cold or raw from fridge).
For chronic constipation, other supportive measures like warm water in the morning, fiber-rich diet, and triphala at night may be more effective.

Acharya charaka has mentioned ghee as Nitya rasayana ( 1 table spoon of ghee daily will help you built or in the formation of rasa, rakta, mamsa etc., tissues).
For chronic hard stool -
1. Need to be assessed causes of hard stool since how many years ....
2. Since there is no clear history.... Proper diagnosis is difficult.
3. Right now 1 table spoon of ghee with warm milk early in the morning for 7 days and give gap for other 7 days and again continue for other 7 days.... Will help you to loose your hard stool....
4. If that was not working u should take Eranda tailam for hard stool after having proper diagnosis by Ayurveda physician......
5. Kindly consult before using anything by own
