Turmeric {Golden} Elixir
This Turmeric elixir is so delicious!! Formulated to support digestion, leaky gut, inflammation & overall gut + immune health. Turmeric is a potent anti-inflammatory Medicine, with warming spices, as well as Adaptogens + Medicinal Mushrooms to support digestion and overall gut health.
The original “Turmeric milk” or Haldi Doodh of course coming from Ayurvedic tradition, wisdom, Medicine and is thousands of years old. The exact formula and preparation varies depending on the constitution of the person, the timing, season, etc. This formula has the addition of non-traditional ingredients to provide extra gut support & healing, as that is the intention of the Medicine.
Astragalus is one of my favourite adaptogenic roots, and may be supportive for the Immune system, which is often impacted when the gut is out of balance. They are considered a tonic in TCM, supporting overall energy. They bring nourishment, vitality & have a special affinity for the Spleen meridian in TCM, acting as a Qi tonic. They are also anti-microbial, Liver protective (hepatoprotective), a Heart tonic & Immune tonic.
I love working with them for fatigue & overall depletion/low energy/vitality. They typically are worked with as a preventative Medicine, and stopped during an acute cold or flu. Astragalus also feels tied to our Ancestors, our breath as Vital force, as well as Kidneys (our overall *essence,* which can become depleted after illness/over work/stress/burnout etc). Astragalus is gently sweet too which is so soothing. They have been shown to potentially balance cholesterol levels & improve cardiovascular health. They may also increase intestinal barrier strength, and reduce GI inflammation.
Lion’s Mane is a potent Mushroom kin that has been shown to potentially heal the gut mucosa, reducing inflammation, and soothing the GI tract. Some studies suggest that Lion’s Mane may have gastroprotective properties, and protect against ulcers, and may help to heal intestinal mucosa that can lead to symptoms of “leaky gut.” They are also often worked with for cognitive health, including supporting memory, concentration & focus. They may also be supportive for overall mood, and reducing anxiety (which is often connected with sub-optimal gut function).
Lastly, Marshmallow root is added for their demulcent & extra anti-inflammatory Medicine. They are one of the best gut supportive Plant kin! So soothing. They may provide a protective ‘coating’ on the mucosa which can be so welcome if navigating GI issues with inflammation or extra sensitivity.
With warming spices, including pepper to increase bioavailability of Turmeric; however, for this blend we really want the Turmeric and other Plant kin to almost ‘sit’ in the GI tract to offer that soothing + healing.
And a touch of Date sugar for a little sweetness, you can add more sweetness if needed too.
I hope you love this one, kin! Gratitude to the Indigenous to India lineage keepers, wisdom keepers, medicine people, Elders who tend to these ways of being, healing.
Ingredients: Turmeric, Astragalus, Lion’s Mane, Marshmallow Root, Date Sugar, Cinnamon, Ginger, Cardamom, White Pepper, Clove
Work with Turmeric Elixir: 1tsp per 1 cup of milk, more or less to your taste. You can use any milk, personally I use full fat coconut milk & a bit of Water. I like to add a bit of honey or Maple syrup for a bit more sweetness, depending on the person/season/time, etc. I find it is best to bring the drink up to a low simmer and let sit to cool to a comfortable drinking temperature. It helps dissolve the Plants & also increases the bioavailability.
Suggested: 1-2tsp per day, as needed
