Turmeric Milk (Golden Milk)

Turmeric is an excellent antiseptic and blood purifier. Haldi Doodh now popularly known as 'Golden Milk' is a quick fix for many health issues. As little as a pinch of turmeric powder in a hot cup of milk is all that your body needs to heal itself. 

Turmeric in milk acts as a blood purifier and rids your body of hormonal, digestive, kidney-liver and even respiratory problems. Turmeric milk with honey before bed can help relieve the body of toxins and help regulate blood flow, boosting blood and organ health. Other natural blood purifiers include tulsi, neem and honey

 

Benefits of Turmeric Tea

• Ayurvedic healers love turmeric for its anti-inflammatory, antibiotic, and anti-oxidant properties.
• The warm milk provides protein and makes tryptophan, a sleep-enhancing amino acid, more readily available to the body.
• From an ayurvedic perspective, ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, and black pepper are warming spices that help keep the sniffles away.
• This traditional Ayurvedic drink is nourishing and smooth, and it’s quite simple to make. Ayurveda is one of the world’s oldest holistic medical systems. I never really enjoyed warm milk before bed as a kid, I sure do enjoy this delicious beverage.
