What can happen when you ingest the combined healing benefits of turmeric, local honey, ghee, cinnamon, star anise, black pepper, clove & fennel?
Key Antioxidants (lower risk of infection & disease)
Curcumin, the active component in turmeric, has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries due to its strong antioxidant properties.
Antioxidants are compounds that fight cell damage, protecting your body from oxidative stress.
Reduce Inflammation and Joint Pain
Chronic inflammation is thought to play a major role in chronic diseases, including cancer, metabolic syndrome, Alzheimer’s and heart disease. For this reason, diets rich in anti-inflammatory compounds may reduce your risk of these conditions.
Research shows that cinnamon and curcumin (the active ingredient in turmeric) have potent anti-inflammatory properties.
Heart disease is the worldwide leading cause of death. Interestingly, cinnamon and turmeric have been linked to a lower risk of heart disease.
For instance, a review of 10 studies concluded that 120 mg of cinnamon per day may lower total cholesterol, triglyceride and “bad” LDL levels while raising “good” HDL levels.
What’s more, curcumin may improve the function of your blood vessel linings — known as endothelial function. Proper endothelial function is important for a healthy heart.
Improve Memory and Brain Function
Studies show that curcumin may increase levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor. BDNF is a compound that helps your brain form new connections and promotes the growth of brain cells.
Low levels of BDNF may be linked to brain disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease.
What’s more, cinnamon appears to reduce the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease and improve brain function in animal studies
Antibacterial, Antiviral and Antifungal Properties
Test-tube studies suggest that curcumin has antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal properties which may help prevent and fight infections.
Similarly, lab test studies indicate that cinnamaldehyde, the active compound in cinnamon, may prevent the growth of bacteria. In addition, it may help treat respiratory tract infections caused by fungi.
The ingredients in golden milk also have strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties which may strengthen your immune system
Reduce Cancer Risks
Cancer is a disease marked by uncontrolled cell growth.
In addition to conventional treatments, alternative anti-cancer remedies are being increasingly sought after. Interestingly, some research suggests that spices such as turmeric & cinnamon may offer some benefits in this regard.
Curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric, may also kill isolated cancer cells and prevent the growth of new blood vessels in tumors, limiting their ability to spread.
Chronic indigestion, also known as dyspepsia, is characterized by pain and discomfort in the upper part of your stomach.
Research shows that turmeric, another ingredient used to make golden milk, may help reduce indigestion symptoms. Turmeric may also improve the digestion of fat by increasing your production of bile by up to 62%.
Finally, studies show that turmeric can help maintain proper digestion and prevent flare-ups in individuals with ulcerative colitis, an inflammatory digestive disorder resulting in ulcers in the gut.
