Guest guest Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Sat Nam, soya milk will do the trick. You can also suggest that she cooks other foods using turmeric, like mung beans and rice, or potatoes, etc. I usually get my daily dosis of turmeric by adding it (cooked, I keep it in the fridge) to my morning drink which mainly consists of banana, kiwi, orange juice (fresh).

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Sat Nam! You may use almond milk as a substitute for dairy in Golden Milk...and yes Turmeric in cooking is great for flexibility. Be careful that the spice is cooked as it may cause stomach upset uncooked. Turmeric may also be mixed with honey and consumed that way (again lightly cooked first). I have been substituting coconut oil for the almond (really yummy!) and grating fresh nutmeg on top.

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Sat Nam,Boswellia serrata, is used in Ayurvedic medicine for various inflammatory conditions. Grown in India and Northern Africa, boswellia is prized as frankincense in the Middle East. The extract of boswellia has been used to treat arthritis, asthma, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, and skin conditions. Along with its anti-inflammatory effects, Boswellia serrata has also shown to have cholesterol-lowering effects, to be an immunomodulatory, and has analgesic, anti-tumor, anti-fungal, and anti-bacterial activities. Boswellia, combined with ashwagandha, turmeric (curcumin) and zinc, has been shown to have positive effects in the treatment of osteoarthritis. In a double blind placebo control study, patients taking the combined form of boswellia showed a significant improvement in pain severity, and disability score. In an animal study, dogs showed improvement in intermittent lameness, localized pain and stiff gait. All external factors that aggravate lameness, such as “lameness when moving” and “lameness after a long rest” diminished gradually. In another study, all patients receiving boswellia treatment reported a decrease in knee pain, increased knee flexion and increased walking distance. The frequency of swelling reduced considerably. A combination of Panchakarma treatment, nutritional changes and yoga, in addition to herbal supplements should help.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 YB said to cook the turmeric paste for 8 min. or so before making GM. That leads me to believe that turmeric is far more powerful cooked than powdered. Some UCLA researchers did a study recently and developed a form of turmeric that has been shown in tests to be 50 times stronger than turmeric powder. I wrote the guy who is trying to market it. It sounds like they used regular turmeric for the study. I am wondering if they used cooked turmeric or turmeric juice, would they get different results. I do not recall the study or the company name offhand.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Sat Nam I recently purchased fresh tumeric & look forward to experimenting with it. Perhaps I will juice it like I do ginger & just drink it! (Mixing with other veggie juices perhaps for taste) Let's experiment!

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 I have milk intolerance as well, and make my Golden Milk with Almond milk. Soy or Rice milk work great, too. Sat Nam, MaryAnn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
