Turmeric Milk
Shake Up and Sip On Turmeric Milk Tonight
The next time you're dealing with digestion issues, DOMS, or cold symptoms, mix up some golden milk, a drink used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine rich in electrolytes and digestive-aiding properties. The stars of this recipe are ginger and turmeric, which you likely have in your pantry!
Ginger has antimicrobial properties that can stop viruses (like common respiratory infections) before they wreak havoc on your immune system, and it is also a well-known remedy for nausea and digestive issues. Curcumin, the active ingredient in the spice turmeric, is a natural anti-inflammatory that has been shown to ease muscle soreness after a tough workout, stop a headache in its tracks, support weight-loss goals, and improve your digestion. Seriously, is there anything this spiced drink can't remedy?

Notes
If you'd prefer to enjoy your turmeric milk warm (the traditional Ayurvedic way), feel free to warm yours in the microwave or on the stove top.
