Sounds reasonable. An Ayurvedic remedy for arthritic pain is one teaspoon of turmeric and one teaspoon of ghee (clarified butter) in a cup of warm milk. The ghee is supposed to carry the turmeric deeper into the tissues of the body. Almond oil is a good/cheaper substitute for ghee.
When my mother was first diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, and also had some arthritic pain in her hips, I had her take a cup before bed every night. Warm milk has tryptophan in it, which makes you sleepy, so it seemed like the right time of day for it. She suffered no negative side effects from it.
Tastes pretty good too IMO.
To that Golden Milk recipe, add a couple good shakes of black pepper. It increases gut absorption of turmeric active ingredients by like 300%.
Black pepper and a good fat like ghee-— that’s the key.
