So now that you know about the correlation between anger and the liver from our previous blog post, we can be clear about how a taxed liver over a period of time can lead to emotional states of constant low level anger, depression, resentment, feelings of tightness in the chest, tension in the stomach, irritability, headaches, and the propensity to lose one’s temper. So how can we approach this? First, of course, it will help to eliminate all stimulants and chemicals mentioned like sugar, alcohol, caffeine, etc. Second, having turmeric (a liver toner) by making the golden milk recipe described below will also help a lot, and last but certainly not least, it is SO important to explore any time we do get angry, what that anger is really all about and what it is trying to tell us from an emotional, spiritual and psychological standpoint.

OG GOLDEN LATTE RECIPE

Turmeric really is a gold mine for anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, and antioxidant properties. I love to drink it in tea, or in this delicious GOLDEN LATTE

One of the main reasons I like to add Tumeric in this “mylk” is because, curcumin (the active healing ingredient in turmeric) is fat soluble, so it’s a good idea to take turmeric with some fat in order to better absorb it! The cashews in this recipe provide that necessary fat in order to efficiently absorb all the turmeric golden goodness.

GOLDEN LATTE RECIPE:

1 cup cashew “mylk” (soak cashews overnight or for at least 4 hours and blend them with water until creamy. The ratio of cashews to water is 1 cup cashews to 3-4 cups water.)
2 Tbsp pollen
1-2 tsp turmeric
1 tsp raw unfiltered organic honey

INSTRUCTIONS:

After making the cashew '“mylk”, stir all ingredients together with a spoon, blend them or shake them up in a mason jar.
If you want to drink it warm, put the “mylk” and turmeric in a pot on low heat until it starts bubbling (simmering), remove it from the heat, and then stir in the pollen and unfiltered honey.
