Struggling with restless nights, dull skin, or sluggish digestion?
This ancient Indian remedy is your soothing nighttime reset.
The Ancient Night Elixir
What you need:
- 1 cup warm milk (cow’s milk or plant-based like almond)
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- A pinch of black pepper (helps absorb curcumin from turmeric)
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon (great for digestion and blood sugar)
- 1/2 tsp ghee or coconut oil (nourishes skin and gut)
- a bit of jaggery or honey (if you want sweetness – but don’t heat honey)
Why it works:
- Sleep: Turmeric + warm milk calm the nervous system; ghee supports deep rest.
- Skin: Turmeric is anti-inflammatory and purifying, helps clear skin from within.
- Digestion: Ghee and turmeric both stimulate Agni (digestive fire), easing bloating and promoting gut health.
How to take it: Drink it 30 minutes before bed, while winding down. Make it a little ritual – light, quiet, nourishing.
