Golden Milk

In my opinion, this is a miracle “elixir” for inflammation! I feel that it works so much better than ibuprofen ever did (and I used to take my fair share of it before my lifestyle change!) Golden milk is also great for the digestive tract and circulatory system. I use it mostly when I injure myself and as a beverage now and then for its many other health benefits.

You can find MANY recipes on the internet for how to make it, but here is my simple method. Note, the mix that I use has all the main ingredients that are NEEDED, so that makes it very convenient! Some people think that just the turmeric alone is enough, but it needs a carrier such as black pepper for it to be absorbed by the body.

DO NOT USE THIS IF YOU ARE ON A BLOOD THINNER UNLESS YOUR DOCTOR APPROVES!
