If you’re looking for a simple way to support your joints, skin, and digestion, this old-fashioned remedy might surprise you. By gently heating coconut milk (or any milk you prefer) together with gelatin, you can create small “health cubes” that are both soothing and nutritious.


What You Need

1 cup coconut milk (or almond, oat, or regular milk — any works)
A few slices of fresh ginger
1 cinnamon stick or ½ tsp ground cinnamon
(Optional) 1–2 cloves or a piece of star anise for extra flavor
1 tablespoon grass-fed gelatin powder
A little honey or maple syrup if you prefer it sweet
How to Prepare

Pour the coconut milk into a small saucepan.
Add the ginger slices and cinnamon stick (plus cloves/star anise if using).
Let everything simmer gently for a few minutes — just enough to infuse the flavors.
Turn off the heat and sprinkle the gelatin over the warm milk, stirring until completely dissolved.
Pour the mixture into a container or ice cube tray.
Let it cool in the fridge until firm.
You’ll now have soft, chewy gelatin cubes packed with healing benefits!
Why This Remedy Works

✅ Gelatin supports joint health
It’s rich in collagen-building amino acids that help rebuild cartilage and reduce stiffness.

✅ Improves skin elasticity & hair strength
Gelatin and coconut milk together provide healthy fats and proteins that nourish skin from within.

✅ Soothes the stomach and improves digestion
Gelatin forms a protective layer in the gut lining, helping with acid reflux and inflammation.

✅ Balances hormones and supports sleep
Glycine from gelatin has a calming effect on the nervous system, promoting relaxation.


How to Use

Eat 1–2 cubes daily, preferably in the morning or before bed.
You can enjoy them as a snack, dessert, or bedtime tonic.
For extra comfort, dissolve a cube in hot tea or warm milk.
Precautions

⚠️ People with kidney or liver issues should consume gelatin in moderation.
⚠️ If you’re allergic to coconut, use another type of milk.
⚠️ Too much cinnamon or ginger may be irritating for pregnant women or those with stomach sensitivity.
