Golden Milk is a delicious hot drink, perfect for winter evenings. Learn how to make the perfect golden milk with Tumeric essential oil.
I just added turmeric essential oil to my oil collection a couple of months ago for its many benefits. When I stumbled across a recipe to make “golden milk,” and it called for powdered turmeric, I tweaked the recipe just a bit and substituted turmeric essential oil for the powder.
Fair warning: Once you make it one time, you will be hooked! My husband and I have made this every evening since. We are obsessed.
I am excited to share this delicious drink with you to enjoy throughout the cold winter months; maybe you will substitute it for your paleo hot chocolate or even coffee? Am I going too far now?

BENEFITS OF TURMERIC ESSENTIAL OIL
Turmeric is essential for your daily health routine and, when taken internally, promotes a healthy immune function and response.
Make sure the oils you are using are safe for internal use.
Turmeric has had a long history of traditional health practices coming from India that inspire modern-day uses. It is steam distilled from the root, and its main chemical components are Turmerone and ar-Turmerone.

TURMERIC ESSENTIAL OIL TOP USES
- Turmeric is a significant source of antioxidants, vitamin C, calcium, flavonoids, fiber, iron, niacin, potassium, zinc, and other nutrients.
- One of the active ingredients in turmeric can be used for weight loss.
- Turmeric has cleansing and purifying properties that are great for the skin. Apply topically to the area of concern to help with skin imperfections, blemishes, and skin tone.
- Use aromatically to promote feelings of positivity and to improve mood.
- Apply for a soothing, warm massage after a workout or long day at work.
- Use turmeric essential oil for culinary purposes to receive the benefits of the oil and add the unique taste of turmeric to drinks, soups, and sauces.
HOW TO COOK WITH TURMERIC ESSENTIAL OIL
- Essential oils are very concentrated, and a little goes a long way. Typically, 1-2 drops are all that is needed when using turmeric in a recipe.
- If one drop is too much, you can use the “toothpick drop.” Place a toothpick in the top of your essential oil bottle, just getting the tip wet, and swirl around in the dish you are seasoning.
- Add the essential oil last, especially when making something hot, to preserve the therapeutic benefits.
- Only use high-quality essential oils internally. Many essential oils have adders and fillers that make them unsafe for internal use. Be sure to check with the company on how they test and source the essential oils before taking them internally. Learn more about taking essential oils internally HERE.
- Start with less and add more if needed. I prefer more turmeric than my husband, and this will just depend on individual taste buds. Start with one drop and add more if desired.
