[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh, you read my post. 
I  drink  it every day. My kids will take it once in a while. My DH will add a pinch of turmeric in his coffee. SMH.  We were drinking it even before it became a thing in the US because we are Indians. It is a cure-all for all kinds of ailments from centuries and common household remedy in India.

I also use golden milk in place of pain killers if I ever need it. It completely replaces tylenol/advil/naproxene etc. Try it and you will be shocked. Timings are same - take a dose every 3-4 hours without any side effects. Of course I am not drinking 4 glasses of milk, so I take around 2 ounces of milk for each dose, 1/4 of turmeric powder, a pinch of black pepper. I am really addicted to the nutty taste. My kids also drink it as soon as they feel they are coming down with a cold, cough, chills, body ache etc.  It is an analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, anti-microbial and antiparasitic.

1/4 what - tsp or tablespoon? Just regular turmeric powder from the spice aisle at Giant?[/quote]

Yes. Tea spoon. Try not to exceed more than a teaspoon a day.

Yes, regular turmeric powder from the spice aisle at Giant or any normal grocery store.  If you buy from an Indian grocery store, you will get a large amount for just a few dollars. Spices in big stores are hugely overpriced. And since the consumption of Turmeric (Haldi in Hindi) is so high in Indian cuisine, the stock in Indian stores is fresher and is not sitting around for months.   I usually store the turmeric in a glass mason jar.

Haldi-Dudh (Haldi = Turmeric, Dudh = Milk)  can ward off many childhood everyday ailments too - from stomach aches, teething pains, colds to growing pains in bones and muscle.  It  also reduces parasitic worms like pinworms in the digestive system.   It is excellent for burns and open wounds. Thick paste of turmeric and ghee was used to pack and close wounds. Turmeric is a known remedy in face packs for acne.

The Ayurvedic way to use Haldi therapeutically is in warm milk and with a pinch of black pepper.  The pepperine in black pepper, fat and calcium in milk and the curcumin and trace minerals (specifically sulphur) in turmeric all work together.  Also, please don't overdo it. [b]1 teaspoon is the upper limits for consumption therapeutically. Large amounts (2-3 tsp) can increase your BP.[/b]   We use it in every day cooking in practically ever curry, daal.   You can also add a pinch in rice to give it a nice color.
