In my house, when a cold hits, we always make ourselves some golden milk.
Golden milk or turmeric tea has beneficial properties which helps to boost immune function and aids in digestion.
Some facts on turmeric:
- Turmeric contains curcumin, a substance with powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
- Chronic inflammation is known to be a contributor to many common Western diseases. Curcumin can inhibit many molecules known to play major roles in inflammation.
