It’s September 1st! That means it’s time for our new Elixir of The Month!
As we all embark into the Autumn season, it’s only fitting to have a nourishing elixir to prepare us for the upcoming seasonal change.
What is Golden Milk 💛?
Golden Milk is a lovely warm beverage made with a blend of “golden” bright turmeric mixed with milk and a variety of warming and digestive supporting spices like ginger, black pepper, cinnamon, cardamom and more. The addition of black pepper is important, as it is believed to enhance the absorption of curcumin, the active compound in turmeric. It has also been used when one is feeling a cold coming on when an individual is already sick.
This drink has a long history stemming from Ayurvedic medicine that originates from India. Ayurvedic medicine is a holistic healing system that focuses on balancing the body, mind, and spirit through natural remedies, lifestyle practices, and personalized approaches to health and well-being. The word Ayurveda is derived from the Sanskrit words ayur (life) and veda (knowledge). Did you know it’s close to 3000 years old? 🌀
💛 The primary ingredient in golden milk is turmeric, which contains an active compound called curcumin known for its potential anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
Turmeric has been a staple in Indian cuisine and traditional medicine for centuries. Golden milk was historically consumed as a medicinal beverage to aid digestion, simulate immunity, and promote overall well-being.
Inspired by the medicinal benefits of this nourishing elixir, we also added Cordyceps for extra energy and immunity and Ashwaganda to relieve stress!
You can try our Golden Milk elixir anytime you visit us in store this September! 🍂🍁✨
