Ayurvedic Golden Milk – Vegan Friendly Healing Elixir for Winter Blues
Some recipes are unforgettable as well as trendsetters, even after thousands of years. They either remain unchanged or evolve into an improved version to adapt with time and age. Golden Milk is one such recipe! It is one of Ayurveda’s most cherished recipes that uses turmeric as its main ingredient.
Ayurveda – is the Indian Herbal Medicine system that focuses on healing the mind, body and spirit. Ayurveda was born 5,000 years ago in India and documents many herbs and spices with their healing properties that science now agrees with.
The ancient scriptures of Ayurveda mention many uses of one of the best healing elixirs – Turmeric and the scientists today are agreeing with the healing properties of turmeric. Journal of Medicine talks about the efficacy of turmeric extract for joint health and arthritis. It states that, “Curcuma longa (turmeric) and Zingiber officinale (ginger), both of which belong to the Ziangiberaceae family, are potential alternative medicines for arthritis.”
