Golden milk for inflammation
The anti-inflammatory benefits of turmeric are well documented. In a comprehensive summary of 700 studies published by ethnobotanist James A. Duke, PhD., in the October, 2007 issue of Alternative & Complementary Therapies, Duke found extensive evidence that turmeric can reduce inflammation.
Golden milk for insomnia
Curcumin, the medicinal component in turmeric is linked to enhancing brains chemicals such as noradrenalin and serotonin, and increase the production of dopamine. Balanced brain chemicals mean better sleep.
The ingredients I’ve used in this recipe are also ideal for balancing hormones, which is key for great sleep.
The role turmeric and ginger play in this CBD oil golden milk recipe also help digestion, and lower inflammation which will help you sleep.
How to make golden milk?
Making golden milk is so easy! All you need is a small pan, mug to drink out of a ten minutes to simmer. Cooking turmeric with black pepper for ten minutes releases the healing properties of the turmeric so it can work most effectively. If it’s too hot or you don’t have access to a stove, mix all the ingredients up and pour over ice, as you’re still going to get many of the beneficial properties of this drink.

Notes:
Stevia works well in this recipe in place of maple or honey. I recommend 1-2 drops.
I recommend using Medterra CBD oil. The amount of oil you use in the recipe, depends on your desired dose. I recommend starting with 3 mg and working your way up very slowly and gradually.
