It's because the heat activates the chemical constituents in the Turmeric...that is the reason why teas are so effective as well. I am at windstarhealing.com if you have any questions.

the fat contained in the milk when heated releases the essential oils which are fat solulable. This is just a guess as to why they might require hot verses cold oil. My answer is based on simple science but ayurveda may not be concerned with the chemistry aspect.

The stomach absorbs the milk better if it is warm.
