This infusion turns simple ingredients into a powerful elixir that acts directly on the joint pain and your overall well-being.

Best schedule and ideal frequency of consumption

To optimize results, drink a cup on an empty stomach upon waking: the body absorbs nutrients and active ingredients better at this time. If necessary, repeat the dose in the afternoon, especially after activities that are strenuous for your joints, such as climbing stairs or long walks.

Avoid consuming it too late in the day, as ginger can have a slightly stimulating effect on some people. Adjust the frequency to just one daily dose if you are sensitive to strong infusions. Remember: consistency is key to combating joint pain, more important than quantity.

Reflect each week: “Do I feel less stiffness when I get up? Is climbing stairs easier?” These questions will help you maintain the habit and adjust the dosage based on your individual response.

How to enhance the effects with gentle exercises

Combining the infusion with stretching and strengthening exercises enhances its benefits. Simple movements—ankle rotations, arm raises, and gentle squats—lubricate joints and strengthen supporting muscles.

Imagine a gear: the infusion reduces internal friction, while the exercise keeps the “wheels” moving and aligned. Together they create a virtuous cycle of mobility and stability, relieving the joint pain more effectively.

Start each stretching session by enjoying your hot cup of tea: the heat relaxes muscles and tendons, facilitating movement and preventing injuries.

Lifestyle to maintain healthy joints

A balanced diet rich in omega-3s (fish, chia, flaxseed) and antioxidants (berries, dark leafy greens) complements the infusion and combats underlying inflammation. These nutrients help modulate the long-term inflammatory process.

Maintaining proper hydration is essential: joint cartilage acts like a sponge and needs to be "moist" to absorb impacts. Drinking enough water keeps this cushioning system active.

Adopt small habits: avoid carrying heavy bags on one side and try to maintain your ideal weight. These are simple steps that, combined, protect your joints and reduce the risk of pain.
