Honey With Milk Ayurveda - #2739
I’ve recently started exploring Ayurveda for better health, and I’ve come across conflicting opinions about drinking honey with milk in Ayurveda. Some sources say it’s a healthy combination, while others warn against mixing them. Could someone clarify whether honey with milk is recommended in Ayurveda, and under what conditions? For context, I’ve been drinking warm milk with honey before bed to help with my insomnia, and it seems to calm me down. But I read somewhere that honey with milk in Ayurveda might create toxins in the body if not combined correctly. Is there truth to this, or is it just a myth? Also, does the temperature of the milk matter when mixing it with honey? I’ve seen recommendations that honey should never be heated, and I’m not sure if adding it to warm milk counts as a problem. Is there a specific way Ayurveda suggests preparing honey with milk to keep it safe and beneficial? Another thing I’d like to know is whether honey with milk in Ayurveda has different effects based on dosha types. I think I have a Vata imbalance because I often feel restless, cold, and have trouble sleeping. Would honey with milk help balance Vata, or does it work better for Pitta or Kapha imbalances? I’ve also heard that honey with milk in Ayurveda is used for specific purposes, like improving digestion, boosting immunity, or even as a remedy for colds. Are these benefits real, and how much should I drink to see results? Would it be okay to have this daily, or could it cause any side effects over time? Lastly, if there are risks with this combination, are there any alternatives for someone looking for a soothing nighttime drink in line with Ayurvedic principles, and are there specific do’s and don’ts I should follow to get the most out of this remedy?
