Today, after a reader asked me about Golden Milk, I decided to write an article about it, being a fan of turmeric, the “protagonist” spice of this drink.
In recent times it has become more and more sought after for its amazing benefits.

First of all, a premise: the therapeutic properties of Golden Milk are the same as turmeric.
In fact, this spice has an incredible antioxidant and anti-inflammatory power, and reduces cardiovascular risk.

Does Golden Milk make you lose weight?

Another reader asks me.
No. It’s a purifying drink.

This is what turmeric milk is suitable for

• improve digestion
• increase the immune defenses
• reduce intestinal bloating
• help metabolism
• safeguard the joints
• in case of arthritis and rheumatic pains
• for throat problems
• protect and purify the liver
• counteract the onset of candida
• for skin problems
• to lower cholesterol
  

In short, it is a very important spice, which due to its color was once called “the saffron of the poor” but which hides a wealth of advantages.
How to take turmeric? Turmeric should be cooked for at least eight to ten minutes.

This is something few know. It can be consumed in cooking dishes or by mixing it in two teaspoons of butter, ghee or oil. Both the fat and the heat would make curcumin assimilable .

Another important thing to know is that fresh peppers or fresh chili or pepper enhance the action of turmeric . However, we can enjoy all the benefits of turmeric by drinking Golden Milk.

Here is the original  Yogi Bhajan recipe , a traditional variant and the therapeutic indications to enjoy this as well as other recipes.
