This nourishing and grounding drink is a lovely way to end the day.

Golden milk is great for calming Vata dosha, which has a tendency to become unbalanced during winter and fall months. However, this nourishing tonic can be taken at any time of year!

This drink recipe is calming for the mind and healing to the body. With all of the warming spices added, Golden Milk is a great way to increase the digestion and circulation. Golden Milk’s health properties don’t end there however. This soothing tonic has also been shown to strengthen the bones (great for treating or preventing osteoarthritis), reduce symptoms of anemia, increases ojas (immunity and vitality), cleanse the blood, and beautify the complexion. Due to its naturally grounding properties, I often recommend taking this drink before bedtime to promote sound sleep.
