Healers in oriental medicine have been prescribing golden milk for skin complaints for hundreds of years. The \u2018medicine\u2019 in this milk is turmeric, which also gives the drink that lovely golden colour. Does this spice, however, really help skin problems? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Potentially beneficial for the gut<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I\u2019ve looked into the literature, but the fact is scientists don\u2019t actually know. A drawback of turmeric is that your body has difficulty absorbing it, making it most unlikely that this spice can have any positive effect on your body or skin. Adding black pepper to the drink may help with absorption. If turmeric does help though, it could be because it has a beneficial influence on the gut. Could turmeric possibly help the skin via this route? There is still no definitive answer, so we just have to find it out for ourselves (see the recipe below)!<\/p>\n

Delicious in the evening<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Golden milk is super to drink, especially at bedtime, because it is so relaxing. Even more so if the milk is warm. So, if you would like to have a good night\u2019s sleep then perhaps it is worth trying? That is one thing, we know for sure,s which is good for your skin!<\/p>\n

Recipe for golden milk (5 glasses)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wat je nodig hebt:<\/p>\n

\u2714\u00a0<\/span>2 tablespoons of turmeric powder
\n\u2714\u00a0<\/span>1 teaspoon of black pepper (freshly ground)
\n\u2714\u00a0<\/span>1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder
\n\u2714\u00a0<\/span>150ml of water
\n\u2714\u00a0<\/span>1 litre of plant based milk of choice (I use unsweetened almond milk)<\/p>\n

Instructions:<\/p>\n

\u2714\u00a0<\/span>Mix the turmeric, black pepper, cinnamon and the 150 ml water in a saucepan. Bring to the boil gently until the mixture thickens to a paste.
\n\u2714\u00a0<\/span>Add 2 tablespoons of the golden paste to 1 litre of almond milk and heat gently in a pan.
\n\u2714\u00a0<\/span>If you have paste left over you can store it in the fridge in an airtight container once it has cooled down.<\/p>\n

\u2665 Enjoy!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
