The warm, ancient Ayurvedic beverage is the perfect addition to any relaxing evening regimen. As integrative neurologist Kulreet Chaudhary, M.D., previously writes for mbg: “Once you’ve tried golden milk, you’ll be hooked on the way it settles your mind and body at the end of the day and invites your entire being to relax and let go of any worries as you drift off to sleep.” These antioxidant capabilities also make turmeric a special skin brightener, both when ingested and applied topically (that’s why turmeric face masks are so popular among many cultures). Turmeric also helps inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory genes3, blocking inflammatory pathways, which can offer even more of a protective benefit. If you’d like to incorporate this skin-loving sip into your evening routine, follow this recipe found in our full golden milk guide.
