Golden milk with turmeric: the drink to be in great shape
Golden milk is a hot drink made from milk mixed with turmeric and usually other spices. This drink takes its name from its golden color, obtained thanks to turmeric.
Golden milk is known to reduce inflammation, strengthen the immune system and improve digestion. It is considered a digestive tonic in the Ayurvedic tradition and therefore could be beneficial in supporting Agni (digestive fire).
We advise you to drink a glass of your golden milk every morning for greater effectiveness, spices are not recommended in the evening as they are too stimulating.
