Imagine, someone is traveling without proper medications. Suddenly the person gets a cold or flu. Turmeric can be the best on-hand remedy. 

It is seen that people become enthusiastic about turmeric on Kauai trips. When exposed to fresh turmeric tubers, they get to know about it. Amanda Rose writes on her blog that she was recovering from the dermatological procedure. She had cheek cells grafted to the nose. She says in that case; turmeric turns to be the only treatment. 

She says that after returning home from the trip, I found golden turmeric milk as the best winter remedy. So by the time, turmeric has become an essential element in almost everything. The taste is fine. The smell is pleasant. It also provides a nice change to a tea. 

Well, turmeric is the key ingredient of golden milk. So this spice is considered a little bitter. Many people ask the question that is it bitter? Amanda Rose says that she defers to her teenage son about turmeric. She asked about the bitterness of turmeric milk. He answered that I'm done with my share of the pie and I'm stuffed.
