Do you struggle with sleep?

Do you experience insomnia?

Today we are going to make a Golden Milk Turmeric Recipe (Vegan) for Sleep. Golden Milk is a warm drink that you can drink before bed to help you sleep.

How does Golden Milk help you sleep:

At its base, turmeric reduces inflammation, lowers your blood sugar levels, helps your liver to detoxify, boosts your immune system and eases your digestive system – all of which help you to get to sleep faster, to sleep better, and to wake up feeling refreshed. Turmeric reduces inflammation and ease your digestive system, helping you get to sleep faster.

Nutmeg is a popular spice with a long list of health benefits, including help with insomnia, thanks to its mild sedative properties.

Cinnamon is spicy, yet soothing. It can calm the mind as well as an upset stomach

Harmonic Arts Bee Pollen - top the Golden Milk

Helps to relieve stress - Because of bee pollen’s nutritional and tonic properties, it improves blood supply to nervous tissue, boosting mental capacity and strengthening the nervous system that may be weakened by stress. That makes it one of the most effective natural stress relievers. This will help you to relax enough to fall asleep and stay asleep.

Bee pollen is also a local analgesic, in other words it relieves pain brought on by stress or injury so that you can sleep through the night uninterrupted by pain.
