Why Turmeric?
Turmeric, known for its golden pigment, is believed to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, along with the potential for a wide spectrum of health benefits. Like CBD, turmeric is fat soluble, meaning that when combined with fats (such as those from coconut oil), they are more efficiently absorbed into the bloodstream. This recipe also includes black pepper, which has been found to boost the absorption of turmeric as well. Whether you're looking for a warming drink to help ease a cold, or a calming beverage to sip and wind down after a long day, this CBD-infused Golden Milk recipe is the perfect healing remedy.
