According to Kanikka Malhotra, consultant dietician and diabetes educator, warm milk contains tryptophan, which helps our bodies produce melatonin, the hormone that gently lulls us to sleep. \u201cTurmeric brings powerful anti-inflammatory and calming benefits, ghee nourishes our nervous system and aids digestion, and jaggery adds a touch of natural sweetness and essential minerals,\u201d said Malhotra.<\/p>\n

Milk also provides magnesium and calcium, which aid muscle relaxation and calm the nervous system, said Dr Birali Swetha, chief dietician, Gleneagles Aware Hospital, LB Nagar, Hyderabad<\/a>. \u201cAdding a teaspoon of ghee provides healthy fats and helps in the absorption of turmeric\u2019s active compound, curcumin. Ghee also supports gut health and reduces inflammation,\u201d said Dr Birali.<\/p>\n

Malhotra said that if you have a Vata constitution, this drink\u2019s warmth and grounding effect can be beneficial. For Pitta types, a lighter version with fewer spices can keep things cool and balanced. And if you\u2019re Kapha, you might want to enjoy it earlier in the\u00a0evening<\/strong><\/a> with some digestive spices or less dairy. \u201c<\/p>\n

By tuning into our bodies and adapting these ancient recipes, Malhotra shared that we can find simple, natural ways to support our\u00a0daily health<\/strong><\/a> and wellbeing. \u201cSometimes, the best medicine is a warm cup of golden milk and a moment of calm before bed,\u201d said Malhotra.<\/p>\n

Dr Birali emphasised that it is best consumed warm, 30 to 60 minutes before bedtime. \u201cWhen consumed 30\u201360 minutes before bedtime, this warm Ayurvedic drink not only promotes deep, restorative sleep but also supports digestion, joint health, skin hydration, and respiratory relief.,\u201d said Danny.<\/p>\n
