5 Benefits of Turmeric Milk

Jul 29, 2019

alt tagfunctional medicine coach carla alpertTurmeric powder is often considered the king of spices and is frequently used in curries. It is extracted from Curcuma longa, which is a tropical herb. Extensive research on the properties of turmeric powder shows that it may provide antioxidant, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory properties. You can add turmeric powder in your cooking, or mix it with water for a quick, easy health boost. Turmeric milk can help strengthen your immune system, regulate your digestive system, clarify your liver, and purify your blood.

Strengthens your immune system
Turmeric milk can help enhance your general immunity to protect yourself against a large number of diseases. It is enriched with anti-viral properties, which is why it is often recommended to help fight influenza. It can be especially beneficial for children who are susceptible to influenza or other viral diseases like chickenpox and measles. It can help reduce the development or severity of side effects associated with viral illnesses.

Remedy for treating digestive problems
Digestive problems are a challenge, and it often becomes too easy to turn to medication to manage the symptoms. However, turmeric milk may provide a more natural and effective solution to soothing problems in the digestive tract. Drinking turmeric milk can help improve digestion by relieving gas and bloating. It can also help reduce heartburn resulting from gastric reflux. Turmeric milk improves the flow of bile, which is linked to fat digestion. You can also try turmeric milk to treat indigestion and loss of appetite.

Clarifies your liver
Some studies have shown that traces of curcumin—the substance used to make turmeric—may be linked to the prevention and reversal of fatty liver and liver cirrhosis. Your liver is responsible for recycling and processing chemical substances stored in it. These chemical substances range from chemical additives in processed foods to environmental pollutants you inhale. Turmeric milk is enriched with detoxifying and hepatoprotective properties that may help protect your liver from these toxic materials.

Purifies your blood
Turmeric powder has earned a good reputation for its antioxidant and detoxifying properties. Toxins are released into our bodies by consuming junk food or through our respiratory tract when we inhale pollution. Toxins are not only detrimental towards our circulatory system, but they can also contaminate organs and tissues once blood is transported to them.

The presence of toxins in blood has been linked to several skin conditions and diseases. Turmeric milk can help purify your blood by clarifying your liver, which is one of the most effective ways to cleanse your blood. The diuretic effect of turmeric milk eliminates the traces of toxins through urination. Be consistent with your consumption of turmeric milk to avoid the buildup of toxins in your blood, and visit a doctor regularly to have your blood tested and monitored for toxic build up.

Hello and Welcome! My name is Carla Alpert, and I’m a Board Certified Functional Medicine Health Coach and Diagnostic Practitioner, focusing on the gut and how it affects your overall health. Think of me as a health detective and wellness coach working in partnership with you to restore your health. We work together to uncover the contributing factors to your chronic symptoms, to eat well, sleep well, move more and stress less.

I love the GI MAP test because it helps my clients and I discover gut dysfunction that may be contributing to daily digestive issues as well as other chronic symptoms like anxiety, fatigue and brain fog. I created this GI MAP Coaching Package to help you stop struggling with your health and get back to living your best life.

What Clients Are Saying

Carla really helped me to figure out my gut pain and issues after so many years. I finally feel like I have energy and clarity around my health! She was so easy to talk to and helped me discover problem areas that were causing me so much distress, when no other doctors could help.
VICTORIA

Well Humans changed my life. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis accompanied by chronic hives. It sprang up out of nowhere and caused bizarre “food allergies” that I’d never had before. Because of Carla’s coaching and dietary recommendations as well as GI Map testing, I can happily say that I am now symptom-free, and I have been in remission for over a year now. All of the doctors I saw told me I would have to deal with my symptoms because there was no cure, but here I am, back to living a mostly normal life. I highly recommend Carla and Well Humans for anyone looking for real answers and treatments that work.
KALYN

When working with Carla, you are in capable, compassionate, knowledgeable and caring hands. Carla truly cares about your well being and wants to help you be the healthiest that you can be. My health was truly suffering and with her guidance and suggested testing, we uncovered some issues that nobody else had uncovered, despite my going to some of the top rated medical institutions. My health and pain improved greatly due to Carla’s sleuthing…she knew where to look. Through many health challenges, I was quite emotional and Carla showed me what compassion looks like. If you want to truly improve your health, start with Well Humans.
BETH

Over years, I’ve tried various “alternative” medicine as well as conventional “western” medicine approaches. Skin ailments are hard to treat – so many aspects of a life can produce skin symptoms. I enthusiastically recommend Well Humans and Carla for a simple reason – I’ve experienced sustained, substantial improvement! I have hardly ever posted a review of anything, but writing this was an easy choice to make. I wish you all the best in your journey towards better health!
JON

I searched the U.S. to find someone who does what Carla does. Carla has used her knowledge, support and expertise to optimize my health and well-being with a blend of scientific medical tests, supplements and diet changes. I wasted a lot of time on my hunches, the internet and experiments with supplements and food and NOW i have an actual plan. Superb supportive knowledge and guidance. I highly recommend Carla. Grateful.
LISA

I never knew that I had a gluten allergy and intolerance until Carla discovered it in my blood work! I’m so grateful that she made this discovery and I have been gluten free ever since. I sleep better, don’t feel bloated and have much more energy. It was a life-changing insight.
