Turmeric lattes are winning the West. We know them as haldi doodh. (Hindustan Times)

The drink that was thrust down your throat when you were young and unwell is the latest hipster fixation in the West. Golden milk or turmeric latte may not mean much to you but it is being ordered with an uncanny regularity in cafes in America, South Africa, Australia and UK.
You know the drink as the humble haldi ka doodh. Yes, the same pungent-smelling milk, probably with a spoon of ghee in it, which was considered a remedy for a host of ills – sore throat, fever, aches and pains and don’t forget its anti-inflammatory properties.

Guardian has named it the “ 2016’s drink of choice”. In a new report on food trends in the US, Google singled out turmeric’s ascent after searches for the spice increased by 56% from November 2015 to January 2016.
“And fuelling that rise is its use in lattes: ‘golden milk’ is among the top online searches associated with the spice. Turmeric lattes are now being sold at cafes from Sydney to San Francisco, and the drink is gaining fans in the UK,” Guardian reported.
Cold-pressed turmeric juice is mixed with juice from almonds and cashews and is being marketed as a healthy alternative to caffeinated drinks. Chefs are also experimenting with turmeric in cookies and health drinks.
But how did turmeric come out of nowhere and climbed on the “food to watch out for” pedestal? Guardian says, “The market research firm Mintel named turmeric as one of its foods to watch in 2016. It has done the rounds of the wellness circuit – the blogs, websites and Instagram accounts of “clean eating” advocates – for several months, and recipes for the drink abound on Pinterest.”
In case you are interested, here’s a recipe for golden milk on Gwyneth Paltrow’s website, Goop.
Even as the West goes gaga over the benefits of turmeric, it is time we also take a refresher course about the spice which can apparently treat everything from cancer to cough. It is said to be rich in antioxidants, its compound curcumin can fight cancer and can lower chances of heart attack. Weight watchers, turmeric also suppresses body fat growth and helps reduce weight.
Now, would you want to try haldi ka doodh at home or wait for an American coffee chain to launch turmeric latte at a store near you ?

Contact us for your "organic turmeric powder" and enjoy the "Turmeric Latte" at your sweet home.

Health Benefits of STEVIA



Stevia is a sweetener and sugar substitute extracted from the leaves of the plant species Stevia rebaudiana.

If you are a diabetic or are on a diet, sugar is possibly one of your worst enemies. And to satiate your sweet cravings, you must have tried everything out there only to know that moderation is the key. While you might be aware of the fact that stevia helps in controlling your blood glucose levels and can be used as a natural sweetener, there are many health benefits of stevia you should be aware of. Here is how this natural herb aids in weight loss, controls blood pressure, reduces wrinkles and more health problems.

#1 Lowers your blood sugar levels
stevia contains a compound called steviol glycoside that is not absorbed by the body and cannot be broken down and hence, is flushed out directly. It also stabilizes your blood sugar by increasing insulin resistance, inhibits the absorption of glucose and promotes the health of the pancreas.

#2 Controls high blood pressure
According to a study published in the Brazilian Journal of Biology and Technology stevia can lower the blood pressure in people suffering from hypertension. However, the results are seen over one to two years. Hence, people who are more prone to the disease can include it in their diet to prevent hypertension.

#3 Beats dandruff and acne
One of the common health benefits of stevia is treating dandruff and acne naturally. The antibacterial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory compounds present in stevia can help you to get rid of acne and dandruff.

#4 Reduces wrinkles and fine lines
Stevia contains a compound called retinoic acid that thwarts the progression of wrinkles [4]. It works by inhibiting the breakdown of skin cells mainly collagen and elastin.

#5 Helps protect your teeth and gums
As stevia contains antibacterial and inflammatory compounds, it prevents the colonization of bacteria in the mouth and around the gums thereby hindering the formation of cavities and plaque that predominantly contributes to the onset of gingivitis.

#6 Reduces heartburn and indigestion
The presence of specific plant glycosides in stevia soothes an irritated stomach lining and thus, aids in the treatment of indigestion and heartburn.

#7 Aids in weight loss
Stevia is great for weight loss as it contains no calories and can be used a sweetener. You can use it in baked and cooked products as the glycosides present in it, do not break down when cooked. An added advantage of this leaf is that it has the capability of reducing your cravings for fatty foods.

#8 Heals wounds faster
Stevia inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria and thus, acts as a powerful natural aid to treat wounds and minor skin infections.

Stevia Leaves are available at AKAL SAHAI ORGANIC FARMS.

Stevia plants at Akal Sahai Organic Farms being irrigated using Drip Irrigation technique

Drip irrigation technique is today’s need because Water – nature’s gift to mankind is not unlimited and free forever. World water resources are fast diminishing. The one and only answer to this problem is Drip Irrigation Systems.


Drip irrigation, saves water and fertilizer by allowing water to drip slowly to the roots of many different plants, either onto the soil surface or directly onto the root zone, through a network of valves, pipes, tubing, and emitters. It is done through narrow tubes that deliver water directly to the base of the plant.

OUR PRODUCTS - Organic Turmeric Powder

"ORGANIC TURMERIC POWDER WITH HIGH MEDICINAL VALUES"


Considering how strong a track record turmeric (curcumin) has, having been used as both food and medicine in a wide range of cultures, for thousands of years, a strong argument can be made for using curcumin (turmeric) as a drug alternative or adjuvant in cancer treatment.

Or, better yet, use certified organic (non-irradiated) turmeric in lower culinary doses on a daily basis so that heroic doses of drugs won’t be necessary later in life after a serious disease sets in.

Jaundice
Hepatitis
Stomach and skin diseases viz scabies eczema and boils.

SCIENCE CONFIRMS TURMERIC AS EFFECTIVE AS 14 DRUGS


SCIENCE CONFIRMS TURMERIC  AS EFFECTIVE AS 14 DRUGS



Turmeric is one the most thoroughly researched plants in existence today.  Its medicinal properties and components (primarily curcumin) have been the subject of over 5600 peer-reviewed and published biomedical studies.  In fact, our five-year long research project on this sacred plant has revealed over 600 potential preventive and therapeutic applications, as well as 175 distinct beneficial physiological effects. This entire database of 1,585 ncbi-hyperlinked turmeric abstracts can be downloaded as a PDF at our Downloadable Turmeric Document page, and acquired either as a retail item or with 200 GMI-tokens, for those of you who are already are members and receive them automatically each month.

Given the sheer density of research performed on this remarkable spice, it is no wonder that a growing number of studies have concluded that it compares favorably to a variety of conventional medications, including:

Lipitor/Atorvastatin(cholesterol medication): A 2008 study published in the journal Drugs in R & D found that a standardized preparation of curcuminoids from Turmeric compared favorably to the drug atorvastatin (trade name Lipitor) on endothelial dysfunction, the underlying pathology of the blood vessels that drives atherosclerosis, in association with reductions in inflammation and oxidative stress in type 2 diabetic patients. [i]  [For addition curcumin and 'high cholesterol' research – 8 abstracts]

Corticosteroids (steroid medications): A 1999 study published in the journal Phytotherapy Research found that the primary polyphenol in turmeric, the saffron colored pigment known as curcumin, compared favorably to steroids in the management of chronic anterior uveitis, an inflammatory eye disease.[ii]  A 2008 study published in Critical Care Medicine found that curcumin compared favorably to the corticosteroid drug dexamethasone in the animal model as an alternative therapy for protecting lung transplantation-associated injury by down-regulating inflammatory genes.[iii] An earlier 2003 study published in Cancer Letters found the same drug also compared favorably to dexamethasone in a lung ischaemia-repurfusion injury model.[iv]  [for additional curcumin and inflammation research – 52 abstracts]

Prozac/Fluoxetine & Imipramine  (antidepressants): A 2011 study published in the journal Acta Poloniae Pharmaceutica found that curcumin compared favorably to both drugs in reducing depressive behavior in an animal model.[v] [for additional curcumin and depression research – 5 abstracts]

Aspirin (blood thinner): A 1986 in vitro and ex vivo study published in the journal Arzneimittelforschung found that curcumin has anti-platelet and prostacyclin modulating effects compared to aspirin, indicating it may have value in patients prone to vascular thrombosis and requiring anti-arthritis therapy.[vi]  [for additional curcumin and anti-platelet research]

Anti-inflammatory Drugs: A 2004 study published in the journal Oncogene found that curcumin (as well as resveratrol) were effective alternatives to the drugs aspirin, ibuprofen, sulindac, phenylbutazone, naproxen, indomethacin, diclofenac, dexamethasone, celecoxib, and tamoxifen in exerting anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative activity against tumor cells.[vii] [for additional curcumin and anti-proliferative research – 15 abstracts]

Oxaliplatin (chemotherapy drug): A 2007 study published in the International Journal of Cancer found that curcumin compares favorably with oxaliplatin as an antiproliferative agenet in colorectal cell lines.[viii] [for additional curcumin and colorectal cancer research – 52 abstracts]

Metformin (diabetes drug): A 2009 study published in the journal Biochemitry and Biophysical Research Community explored how curcumin might be valuable in treating diabetes, finding that it activates AMPK (which increases glucose uptake) and suppresses gluconeogenic gene expression  (which suppresses glucose production in the liver) in hepatoma cells. Interestingly, they found curcumin to be 500 times to 100,000 times (in the form known as tetrahydrocurcuminoids(THC)) more potent than metformin in activating AMPK and its downstream target acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC).

We have found no less than 54 studies indicating that curcumin can induce cell death or sensitize drug-resistant cancer cell lines to conventional treatment.

We have identified 27 studies on curcumin’s ability to either induce cell death or sensitize multi-drug resistant cancer cell lines to conventional treatment.


Nourishing yourself, rather than self-medicating with ‘nutraceuticals,’ should be the goal of a healthy diet.
