Here is the recipe step by step:
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon of powdered ginger
- 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper

The power of ginger: more than just a condiment
Imagine a rainy day, with slightly heavy bones and that feeling like your body "won't start." Maria, 59, told me she started adding ginger to her life for just that reason. And it wasn't a fad, it was a necessity. She was tired of the pain in her hands, especially in the morning.

Ginger is a root with a long history. In traditional Asian medicine, it has been used for centuries to relieve pain, improve digestion, and reduce inflammation. The key? Its active compound, gingerol, acts as a natural anti-inflammatory. It's not magic, it's good science.
By incorporating ginger into this anti-inflammatory capsule, it not only provides flavor but also a powerful effect that can help people with joint pain, muscle pain, or even digestive issues. Sounds like a lot? Well, the best part is you don't have to chew the root every morning. In powder form, mixed with other ingredients, it works just as well.

And if you're one of those people who thinks, "I'm not much for strong flavors," don't worry. Blending it with other ingredients makes the flavor smoother and easier to swallow.
Cayenne pepper: a spark that ignites your well-being
Yes, it burns. I'm not going to lie. But it also helps. Cayenne pepper may seem crazy to those who can't tolerate spicy food, but inside an anti-inflammatory capsule, it's pure gold. Its main component is called capsaicin, and it's responsible for that burn... and its benefits.
And what are those benefits? For starters, it improves circulation. By dilating blood vessels, it helps blood flow better. This means nutrients get to where they're needed faster, and toxins escape more easily. It also acts as a natural pain reliever, something many people discover by accident and end up loving.
A friend of my aunt started using this mixture a few months ago. At first, just out of curiosity. But soon, she noticed that her back pain at the end of the day was lessening. And all without pills, without doctor's appointments, just with a natural prescription and a little perseverance.
Of course, it's always a good idea to start small and observe how your body responds. It's not about suffering, it's about taking care of yourself. Cayenne pepper: a spark that ignites your well-being

Cinnamon: home aroma, healing effect
Who hasn't felt that warm feeling in their chest when they smell cinnamon in the kitchen? It's like a hug in the form of a spice. But besides its enchanting aroma, cinnamon has medicinal properties that few know about.
Cinnamon has been shown to lower blood sugar levels, fight bacteria, and, of course, reduce inflammation. And when we talk about "inflammation," we're not just talking about swelling in your ankle or joints. We're also talking about internal microinflammations, those that you can't see but that affect your body's functioning.
Cinnamon also adds a delicious flavor to the mix, making it easy to consume daily. Not everything natural has to taste bad, right?
A lovely anecdote: Jorge, 67, first prepared this mixture with his granddaughter. He says the girl helped him fill the capsules, and from that day on, taking them in the morning became a shared ritual. An excuse to chat and take care of each other.
Coconut oil: the touch that unites and empowers
This ingredient isn't just for cooking or moisturizing your skin. Coconut oil is a true natural gem. Rich in healthy fats, it improves the absorption of other ingredients and helps the body benefit from their properties.
It has antibacterial action, supports the immune system, and is a mild anti-inflammatory in itself. In this capsule, its role is crucial: it acts as a vehicle for the powdered ingredients and helps the mixture become more homogeneous.
Preparing it is easy. You just need to mix 2 tablespoons of coconut oil with the other spices until a smooth paste forms. You can store it in a clean jar or, if you want something more practical, in empty reusable capsules or a well-disinfected medicine bottle. Simple, affordable, and effective.
