Turmeric and honey are two treasures of natural medicine that have been used for centuries for their healing properties. Together they form a powerful duo with enormous health potential. But if you want to get the most out of turmeric, you must use it the right way – and this is where turmeric milk, also known as golden milk, comes into play.
Why is turmeric so effective?
Turmeric contains the active compound curcumin, which has strong anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antibacterial effects. However, for the body to absorb it, it is essential to add black pepper, specifically the compound piperine – which increases the absorption of curcumin by up to 2000%.
Health benefits of turmeric
- Inflammation and joint pain: Helps with arthritis and muscle inflammation.
- Heart and blood vessels: Reduces cholesterol and the risk of atherosclerosis.
- Diabetes: Improves insulin sensitivity and stabilizes blood sugar.
- Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s: Protects the brain from damage.
- Immunity: A strong natural antibiotic that prevents infections.
- Cancer: Supports natural mechanisms against tumor growth.
- Skin: Helps with eczema, psoriasis and acne.
- Liver: Improves detoxification and protects the liver.
- Respiratory tract: Relieves asthma and bronchitis.
- Digestion: Soothes bloating and irritable bowel syndrome.
Recipe for golden turmeric milk
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of milk (plant-based or cow’s milk)
- 1 teaspoon of ground turmeric
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- a pinch of black pepper
Instructions:
- Heat the milk (do not boil).
- Put the turmeric and pepper into a cup.
- Add the honey.
- Pour in the warm milk and mix well.
Serve the drink warm, ideally in the morning or evening.
Why is black pepper important?
Without black pepper the body would hardly absorb curcumin. Piperine significantly increases its bioavailability and thus its effectiveness. It also supports digestion and improves the absorption of other nutrients.
When to be careful?
Consult your doctor about turmeric milk if:
- you are taking blood-thinning medications,
- you have gallstones,
- you suffer from low blood pressure,
- you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
