Turmeric

The main ingredient of Golden milk is turmeric. This is a spice that you may also know as turmeric and is considered by many to be one of the most medicinal medicines in the world. In particular, it has powerful anti-inflammatory properties, which can provide long-term protection against many diseases. See, for example , this study .

Ginger

Ginger is also a super healthy spice that is known for its medicinal properties and has also been used as a medicine by many Asian cultures for centuries. It again combats inflammation, which only further strengthens the effect of the turmeric. And do you ever feel really nauseous? Then definitely try a glass of ginger tea, which seems to work well against this.

Lemon

Lemon is not only nice and fresh, it is also full of vitamin C , which strengthens the resistance. It also has a strong detoxifying effect and kills various types of disease-causing bacteria.

And cinnamon and honey? Those are great seasonings ;-)
