Ayurvedic Effects
- Ushna Virya (heating formula)
- Vata ↓
- Pitta ↑*
- Kapha ↓**
*Golden Milk is fairly warming and may increase Pitta. However, adding this formula to warm milk or almond milk will cool off the heating properties of the herbs and spices. Ghee and/or maple syrup can be added for additional cooling effects.
**It is recommended for Kapha types to use almond milk as a base rather than dairy milk which will increase Kapha.
Contraindications
Avoid during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. It is always recommended to consult with your doctor or physician before starting any new herbal regimen, especially if any diseases are present or prescription medications are currently being taken.
General Directions
Mix 1 cup of milk (or milk substitute) along with 1/2 cup of water in a small pan. Bring this to a boil and reduce the heat to a simmer. Add in 1 tsp of the Golden Milk blend and stir well. Place the cover on the pan, keeping a small crack to allow the water to slowly simmer out, stirring every minute or so. Once 1 cup of liquid remains take off of heat. Add in 1 tsp of honey after the milk has cooled to about 108 degrees or less.
This tonic is recommended to be taken each night before bed and is generally safe and gentle for longterm use (please see contraindications to make sure this formula is right for you).

This golden milk is like my baby blankie. It soothes and helps me sleep at night. I skipped it a couple of times and did not wake up refreshed and woke up a couple of times. Please order this product and find out for yourself.j

I love the Golden Milk! It’s a delicious calming bedtime treat. I use the sleep easy tincture a few days a week and I do feel the tincture works better, but I love the healthy ingredients in the Golden Milk and will continue to use it.

Why put black pepper in haldi doodh. Ayurveda doesn’t recommend it

Hi Am,
Thank you for writing in! I chose to use black pepper (Maricha) in this Golden Milk recipe because studies have shown that the piperine in black pepper helps the body absorb the curcumin in the turmeric more readily. Along with the ginger and pippali, it also helps lighten any heaviness or congestion the milk may create. Due to its spicy, potent, and heating nature, the pepper is in much smaller quantity than the main ingredients (turmeric, ashwagandha, ginger, ela).
I hope this helps to clarify. Please let me know if you have any further questions!
Namaste,
Danielle
