I love to cook up a huge tureen of bone broth every so often. This broth is amazingly beneficial for gut health and provides therapeutic and nutritional support for health, well-being and a myriad chronic conditions that so many of us are fighting.
Whether your goal is gut healing, immune support or reducing inflammation, bone broth has become a household staple.
Besides, it tastes yum and is a great add for any other stews, soups, casseroles and stir-fries.
I call my version of bone broth "Love Soup" and you can see my recipe, and the story behind it, here.
As you can see, I love to add medicinal herbs, roots, berries and fungus to my soup.
So here for your convenience, I offer a packet of my best organic herbs to add super healing benefits to your next bone broth creation.
Each 35g packet contains 100% Australian Certified Organic:
Astragalus Root
Ashwagandha Root
Reishi Mushrooms
Shiitake Mushrooms
Dulse flakes
Schisandra Berries (not suitable during pregnancy)
Ginger Root
Dong Quai (not suitable during pregnancy)
How To Use:
- Place organic chicken or frames in your chosen tureen
- You can add other bones as well, for example a pigs foot or hock, from hogs fed non-GMO feed; or beef or lamb bones
- Add 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar (the kind with the "Mother" - this helps extract nutrients from the bones)
- Add roughly chopped onions - I usually use 2-3 - with the skin kept on, for more anti-inflammatory quercetin
- Add other herbs and spices as you prefer: garlic cloves, fresh ginger root, chillis (not too many!), turmeric root, pepper, sea salt, etc
- Add any fresh herbs you have growing in your garden e.g. sage, thyme, parsley, oregano, rosemary etc
- Add half of your packet of Bone Broth Medicinal Herbs by Blissful Herbs (save the rest for next time).
- Fill your tureen, slow cooker or stock pot with filtered water and simmer slowly (overnight is perfect).
- Strain the broth into storage jars
