Turmeric Golden Milk for a Better Sleep
Turmeric Golden Milk for a Better Sleep




At its base, turmeric reduces inflammation, lowers your blood sugar levels, helps your liver to detoxify, boosts your immune system and eases your digestive system – all of which help you to get to sleep faster, to sleep better, and to wake up feeling refreshed.
Adding turmeric to chamomile tea, as well as the other ingredients in this elixir, makes it the perfect natural pre-bedtime sedative. I can barely keep my eyes open after a cup of chamomile tea (sleep tea as it is sometimes called) so it’s always my go-to. This recipe just makes the effect that much better. Chamomile is well known for its sedative effects, bringing on a soothing and calming effect to your mind and body – just what you need when you’re ready to shut down for the day.


This drink also includes my latest favorite adaptogen – Ashwagandha. I’ve been supplementing with this raising super-star from a while, because of my slow thyroid function, but also for helping my body to cope easily with stress (being the photographer for a very-soon-to-be published book comes with its ups and downs).
The root of the plant called Withania somnifera has anti-inflammatory and antipyretic effects, with mild calming, relaxing effects. I usually take it in the morning, in my smoothies or my oats bowl, but when I have issues with my circadian rhythm because of late night editing and writing, I add it to my turmeric golden milk and have it before going to sleep.
