Low quality of stored ginger powder is usually at high risk for mycotoxin while a fresh ginger molds easily in the fridge. Cooking ginger in fat tends to get bitter hence instead add it towards the end of cooking with oil preserves flavors better.
2. Cloves
This spice protects against the inflammation that underlies heart disease, cancer, and chronic diseases. The cloves can be ground to add to spice mixtures for meats and to other meals.

You should be careful when using cloves to avoid side effects in your body. Visit an herbal doctor to give you direction on how to mix it in your dishes. Follow the doctor's instructions keenly.
3. Rosemary
Cook the rosemary to flavor roasted vegetables, meats or other cooked meals. Rosemary is an excellent anti-inflammatory agent that inhibits synthesis of the proteins that trigger widespread inflammation. Add some rosemary to the oil when you are cooking something to allow its antioxidants to help preserve the oil from oxidation. It is the same with Sage since they contain antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds.
4. Cinnamon
Cinnamon is a great spice since it has the ability to lower blood sugar in diabetics by activating the insulin receptors. It contains compounds with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory properties like any other herbs and spices. This spice blocks the growth factors connected with abnormal cell growth, hence protecting against cancer.
5. Sage
It is well known for its protective effect against inflammation. Sage gives promise for improving memory, concentration and curbing anxiety. This herb has many additional benefits such as it kills bacteria, fungi and other sage-derived compounds that are effective antiviral. The Sage is good with winter squash, in sausages, and with roast meat.
6. Cayenne
It is responsible for both medicinal properties and its spicy taste. Cayenne in some countries is used as food and medicine for a couple of years. This spice promotes weight loss by raising core body and the skin temperature, hence inducing greater energy expenditure. Scientist is still carrying on the study to determine whether the cayenne prevents or slow down cancer cell growth. Though, cayenne is used as the food you need to take care on the amount use in a day.

The above six anti-inflammatory herbs and spices do not only heal rather they make the injured part of the body be able to avoid other injuries.
