Golden Milk

To Many Cultures Haldi Ka Doodh, also known as "Golden Milk", is a staple. 

"Tumeric is an incredibly powerful anti-inflammatory & anti-oxidant herb.  Tumeric has been shown to detoxify the liver, assist in the removal of mucus, lower cholesterol, help to manage weight, treat IBS, provide iron, and and is a wonderful herbal remedy for the treatment of stiff, sore, arthritic, or inflamed joints. Studies suggest it could be useful in preventing cancers, heart disease, type 2 diabetes. It is also a digestive tonic, antiseptic, antiparasitic, astringent, pain reliever, blood purifier, wound healer, kidney-stone dissolver, eczema treatment, and more."

There is an obvious virtue to this milk. It has been concluded that by incorporating turmeric, with the active chemical Curcumin, that there are effects of antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer and neuroprotective activities. It is limited though, especially for humans, in it's ability when taken orally and doesn't properly absorb. That's why in this recipe, we have included Fresh ground pepper.(so don't leave it out!:)) Black pepper stimulates the taste buds to tell your stomach to digest! it works with the proteins and other food to increase hydrochloric acid, when this is low we are unable to properly digest and often have gas, irritation, bloat and possible diarrhea or constipation.
