Today you will not surprise anyone with exotic turmeric. It is present in the famous curry seasoning and gives dishes an incredibly attractive yellow hue. And more recently, the spice itself was literally golden - it cost so much that outside India only very wealthy people could afford to enjoy it.
Fortunately, times have changed, and we can make "golden milk" from turmeric every day. What is it, and why should we be pleased with the fact that an unfamiliar tool is available? Let's figure it out.
Turmeric has been used in India for a long time and almost everywhere; it is added to almost all dishes. They make it from the rhizomes of the plant of the same name, which belongs to the Ginger family, grind them into a fine powder, after which the spice is ready for use.
It is noteworthy that turmeric is one of the very actively used means of the famous Ayurvedic medicine, which has a long history and is still actively practiced not only in India, but also far beyond its borders. Its properties are diverse:
Since milk is also an extremely valuable product, it is natural that their duo can give a person a lot.
It is interesting! The product is called "golden milk" not only because of its bright yellow color. Comparison with the precious metal shows how important its role is for humans.
What to expect from turmeric “golden milk”:
It is noteworthy that both ancient and modern healers actively used turmeric to relieve menstrual pain and facilitate the process of giving birth to babies.
As you can see, the milk is really golden.
The recipe for "Golden Milk" from turmeric is quite long and demanding, but there is nothing complicated about it. It is based on spice paste, which is what you need to make for a start.
For this you need:
All of the above must be thoroughly mixed, put on fire and boiled for 10 minutes. Remember to stir, because the product will tend to stick to the bottom.
Next, the mass must be cooled and sent to the refrigerator. It should be kept in a closed container and no longer than a month, so calculate how much paste you need for this time and cook this amount right away.
The process does not end there, then the stage of creating a duet with milk follows. The Golden Milk Turmeric recipe involves the use of additional ingredients. As we already said, nothing complicated, but you need to try.
So, one glass of milk will take you (in teaspoons):
Especially popular is the “Golden Milk” recipe with almond oil. This ingredient is very useful in itself, and in combination with the rest gives the body health and beauty. To begin with, the milk with the paste dissolved in it must be brought to a boil, then cool slightly, add butter and honey. It is important not to put honey in hot liquid - this will destroy all its usefulness.
Important! When drinking "golden milk", one must not forget about the cornerstone - regularity. You should drink it every day. Some doctors advise doing this in the morning, others in the evening. In any case, the course of treatment is 40 days, after which you need a break of six months and another call.
When preparing the pasta, another ingredient is added to it - a teaspoon of ginger. It is best to drink the remedy before going to bed, and in the morning to enjoy the given relief.
Sleep can be improved without much preparation. A glass of milk and half a teaspoon of spices will be enough here. Heat the first one (if you boil it, let it cool) and add the second one. Drink half an hour - an hour before bedtime.
To always look great, “golden milk” can not only be drunk. Wipe your skin with it, periodically make masks and be sure to treat any redness - they will heal very quickly and will no longer bother you.
"Golden milk" from turmeric, a recipe (its benefits and harms are incommensurable, but still we must take into account the possibility of the second) which we are considering, should be taken very carefully, preferably under the supervision of a doctor, especially if you have any health problems ... In principle, in the absence of intolerance to any (or any) of the components, it is safe enough, but too much quantity can go sideways. How to understand that something is wrong:
All these are alarming signals and a reason to reconsider the amount of the drug taken or even take a break.
Before starting any treatment or prophylaxis, we strongly recommend that you consult a doctor for recommendations, but it will be useful for yourself to know in what cases you should abandon the "golden milk", these are:
Even if you are perfectly healthy, this is not a reason to ignore the recommendations and break the rules of use. Health is too fragile.
Important! Turmeric is a powerful spice. It promotes blood thinning, in addition, enhances the effect on the body of various drugs. If you have surgery, you must stop using it at least three weeks before it.
Pregnant women and nursing mothers should be careful with turmeric. It is believed that the spice should be abandoned only in the first months, but in fact it is better to consult a doctor and not risk it. If you literally can't live without a fragrant spice, just keep adding it to your dishes - it won't cause negative reactions as it is. Do not give turmeric to young children.
I treat you with an aperitif before the main course. It will become a large and joyful, as I love, manual about turmeric as a safe and three times natural remedy for a huge number of ailments, including the set on edge. We will specifically glorify the orange spice in a few days, and now, at the request of the readers, I am posting a simple and working recipe for golden milk.
Of course, none of it is from March, for it was trivially adopted from one and slightly modernized on the basis of knowledge that she received from other lectures on ancient Indian medicine.
Ingredients
Now let's focus on the algorithm. I call for attentiveness and strict adherence to it, because every movement in the preparation of a medicinal milk drink is full of practical meaning.
Once again, I will scrupulously emphasize that the following explanations are not the fruit of my inventions, but carefully transmitted knowledge from the lectures of Russian-speaking vadiev... If the last phrase has the right to life at all. 🙂
All the beneficial properties of turmeric are preserved:
But there are serious contraindications:
Various recipes for golden milk can be found on the Internet. Sometimes the proportions are indicated completely different, and I give the ideal one for me. If you add more turmeric, it is too bitter. I do not feel any pleasure from drinking, and it is not in my rules to force myself "for health". This is the same reason why I went for a long, long time to a complete rejection of meat.
If you add less spice, then the therapeutic effect is not particularly noticeable.
With wishes for a good mood and a healthy body that does not hinder our development at all levels, sincerely yours, Marta.
