We thought we’d hit the relaxation jackpot with CBD-infused beverages of any kind, including coffee of course. But we just discovered a new CBD drink that takes the power of CBD to new heights. Say hello to the CBD Golden Milk Latte.

What is a Golden Milk Latte?

Turmeric milk, otherwise known as  “Golden Milk,” originated in India as a part of Ayurvedic medicine, which has been around for centuries. Turmeric milk was commonly used as a sleep aid, or to assist people with relaxation, coughs, and colds. Luckily, this beverage has made its way to North America where we can now reap its many benefits.

The Benefits of the CBD Golden Milk Latte

The CBD Golden Milk Latte has 4 key ingredients, each of which come with their own list of benefits. Let’s start with CBD. CBD is known for its pain relieving functions, its ability to reduce anxiety and depression, and properties that help people to have a longer, more restful sleep at night, which as we know has an effect on everything we do during the waking hours.

Turmeric, cinnamon, and ginger, the other main ingredients in golden milk, all have antioxidants, which may help to lower your risk of infection and disease. All 4 ingredients are also known to have anti-inflammatory properties, which can help with the effects and prevention of many diseases and disorders including Alzheimer’s, heart disease, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis. 

It could even help improve your brain health! Curcumin, the active component in turmeric, could increase levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor, or BDNF. This is a compound which helps your brain to form new connections and promote the growth of brain cells. Low levels of BDNF have been linked to brain disorders like Alzheimer’s.
