Guest guest Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 One thing I've been curious about is the explicit instruction that tumeric must be cooked (boiled for 7 minutes or so) before using in golden milk. Sounds like a wasteful bother- does anyone know why this is necessary? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 The nutritional value (mineral?) of many foods, not all, aren't digestible/accessible until that food is cooked. This may account for the need to heat the turmeric and make it into the paste.

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 I probably missed some of the emails, I was looking for the Golden Milk recipe but could not find it in the emails. I read through some of the emails that you use honey, turmeric, milk? and or yogurd? and how and how much to mix or cook. Can anybody help me with this?

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 From the archives Kundaliniyoga/message/23879 Golden Milk Golden Milk is a drink, which is a great help for stiff joints as it is an anti-inflammatory, and is a source of lubrication for the system. This is the recipe used by practitioners of yoga who have creaking joints, lots of cracking, and pain in the knees and back from sitting in a cross-legged position. It is also really great for those who simply have a need for a deep, healing sleep. Your sleep may be so rejuvenating that your voice may be deeper and more resonant in the morning. The turmeric is good for many ailments including liver trouble. It is prepared in two parts: (1) Prepare a golden yellow turmeric paste by taking a 2.5 to 3 TBs of turmeric powder to 1 cup of pure water and simmer on low heat for 8 minutes. It will form a thick paste. There is an important reaction that takes place at 8 minutes. This will keep for 2 weeks in a jar in the refrigerator. (2) After the paste is made, for each cup of Golden Milk you want, blend together the following 1 cup of raw milk (almond milk is a good substitute) 1 teaspoon of almond oil (best), sesame or any vegetable oil, 1/4 to 1 teaspoon, or more, of the turmeric paste as prepared above and then add honey to taste at the very end. While stirring on a low heat, bring the milk just to the boiling point. Remove from heat and add honey. Optional: The mixture may be then blended in an electric blender to make a beautiful foamy drink. I recommend serving with a little cinnamon and/or a few dashes of nutmeg, plus you can pretend you're at Starbucks. Do one cup a day for 40 days. Variation: from the Earth Clinic Website: Gurudev Kaur Khalsa, a Sat Nam Rasayan healer and Kundalini Yoga teacher in Los Angeles sent us this Ayurvedic tea for lubricating the joints. Gurudev tells us that the almond oil is a very important part of this recipe. Turmeric is called " the internal healer " in Ayurveda. Turmeric is also a blood purifier and is best known for its ability to help the female reproductive organs. Some research indicates that turmeric may be of value in preventing diabetes and cancer. 1/8 teaspoon turmeric, 3 cardamom pods (optional), 1/4 cup water. Simmer 5 to 7minutes, then add : 1 cup of milk, 2 tablespoons almond oil (cold pressed). Bring just to the boiling point (but do not boil). Add honey or maple syrup to taste. Sip slowly as a hot tea. One benefit of cardamom is it lessens the effects of the lactose for those with intolerance for it. Also, as good as maple syrup tastes it is honey that is the more potent ingredient and will yield greater benefits.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Would it be OK if I also add tumeric to other foods and does it have to be cooked or heated? Sat Nam, Hari Narayan Kaur ________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
