Golden Milk Turmeric Latte

January 24, 2021 · In: recipes

Golden Milk Turmeric Lattes are on of my favorite go to drinks! It’s the perfect way to warm up on a chilly day. Plus it is loaded with health benefits! I like it with raw cow’s milk but you can always use oat, coconut or almond milk for a vegan option. Try it and I know it will soon be a favorite in your home too!

Plantain for the win! My daughter got a spider 🕷 bite yesterday morning that immediately swelled and became hard so I ran out to the backyard and grabbed a Plantain leaf. I bruised the leaf and placed it on the bite mark then wrapped her foot with an elastic bandage. We changed out the Plantain leaf 3 times and by last night it was totally back to normal! 🙌🏼 

Plantain can actually pull out venom or infection from the skin’s tissues. Native Americans called it “snake weed” for this reason. 

As a caveat I’m not saying to use it in replacement of medical treatment for a venomous snake or poisonous spider bite but what I am saying is to use it until you can get medical treatment if needed. In a survival situation knowing how to identify and use Plantain could very well save your life.
