An ancient ayurvedic drink

If you haven’t heard of them yet, don’t worry: we’ve got you covered!
TikTok, Youtube and all the major sustainable recipe sites are flooded with different declinations of so-called “healthy drinks.”

The main exponent of this category is Golden Milk. This drink has its roots in Indian Ayurvedic medicine and is made by blending plant-based milk, (such as coconut or almond) with healthful spices. The key ingredient is turmeric, which is responsible for its distinctive color.

Golden Milk benefits

This drink has gained popularity for its many healthful properties:

  • Anti-inflammatory action: turmeric, along with cinnamon and ginger, helps prevent and treat conditions such as arthritis, heart disease, and metabolic disorders.
  • Cell protection: curcumin acts as a powerful antioxidant, helping to counteract cell damage and reduce the risk of degenerative diseases.
  • Mood enhancement: studies suggest that curcumin may have a positive effect on mental well-being, supporting those suffering from mood swings or depression.
  • Effects on metabolism: some spices in Golden Milk, such as ginger, help control blood sugar levels, which is particularly helpful for those with type 2 diabetes.
  • Immune system support: curcumin has antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal properties that can strengthen the body’s natural defenses.
  • Balanced digestion: ginger, which is present in the recipe, aids digestion and helps counteract bloating, meteorism and nausea.
