Cannabis-Infused Golden Milk
Golden milk is one of the most popular and trendy health drinks in the holistic wellness scene today. Made with ground turmeric and milk, there are hundreds of variations and ways to make this warm, delicious drink your own. This is my own Cannabis-Infused Golden Milk version.
Loosely modeled after a traditional Indian drink made of ground turmeric and milk, haldi doodh, golden milk is a modern-day version of this reported ancient healing beverage.
Turmeric, which has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries, is a ground spice that is easily found in your local grocery store. Prized for its main active ingredient, curcumin, turmeric has many purported health benefits including the ability to help reduce inflammation in the body.
Like turmeric, cannabis has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries. Cannabis use was first noted in Northern India approximately 8,000 years ago. Evidence suggests that cannabis has been used as medicine for over 2,400 years.
Anti-Inflammatory Ingredients
In modern-day 2020, I help my clients manage autoimmune and inflammatory conditions with my cannabis and nutrition protocols. I help them create their best autoimmune diet with customized diets created based on food sensitivity testing results.
When we work together, our major goal is to reduce inflammation in the body utilizing plant-based medicine and nutrition. This drink is a perfect go-to for my patients because it is made with anti-inflammatory ingredients that help to nourish the body and quiet the immune response.
Cannabis-Infused Coconut Oil
One of the most promising therapeutic interventions being studied for the treatment of chronic inflammation is cannabis, also known as phytocannabinoid pharmacotherapy.
The endocannabinoid system—and specifically therapy focused on using exogenous cannabinoids found within the cannabis plant, including THC and CBD—is an emerging target of pharmacotherapy. Several studies have demonstrated that cannabinoids, like CBD and THC, have the ability to downregulate and upregulate various mechanisms to suppress the body’s inflammatory responses.
One of the easiest and most convenient ways to use cannabis for the management of inflammation is with homemade cannabis-infused coconut oil.
Coconut oil is the perfect substitute for butter when making a dairy-free and/or vegan cannabutter. The coconut oil performs similar to butter in regards to extracting the cannabinoids from the plant matter, and it remains solid at room temperature like butter.
You can adjust your potency of the cannabis oil based on the strain of cannabis-flower you choose and how much you decide to use.
Many of my cannabis counseling clients perfect cannabis coconut oil that is made with CBD dominant flower and does not produce a traditional high but still provides all of the other health benefits of the cannabis plant

Ground Turmeric
Turmeric is a rhizome with powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-fungal properties. These powerful properties stem from the important plant compound called Curcumin which is found in turmeric.
Inflammation is at the heart of many chronic health conditions, and evidence suggests that adding more anti-inflammatory foods to the diet, such as turmeric, can help to reduce the instance of chronic disease.
