The delicious and easily prepared drink to keep you healthy
This contains two key ingredients:
Turmeric
Turmeric, known as the Golden Goddess, is one of the most recommended substances in Ayurveda, India's ancient indigenous medical system. It helps fight common ailments such as colds and sore throats, and generally strengthens the immune system. Turmeric also helps blood circulation. The healing substance found in turmeric is called curcumin, which imparts the distinctive golden yellow colour and the root’s medicinal action. Turmeric is also used in facial products, as it gives the skin a radiant, healthy glow
Cinnamon
According to Ayurveda cinnamon helps increase circulation throughout the body, so it is particularly useful if you suffer from problems such as cold fingers & toes. This deliciously scented bark has a warming quality and is perfect to use in the fall, winter & spring. It helps expelling excess mucus and soothes cold and flu. It adds a sweet, and refreshing flavour to Golden Milk.
