A staple of our Gut Healing Protocol, bone broth is rich in amino acids and minerals that help to heal the gut lining. You can use any type of bones - beef, chicken, seafood - preparation is so simple and making it yourself saves a lot of money.
You can experiment with ingredients, our favourites are:
- Beef bones from grass fed & finished cows
- Kombu - a type of seaweed with high mineral content (including iodine for thyroid function)
- Ginger - anti-inflammatory
- Parsley - good for kidney health and reduces water retention
- Rosemary - delicious and repeatedly features in the diets of populations with a long life-span
Add all of the ingredients into a slow cooker (or pressure cooker), fill to the appropriate level with water and leave on slow cook for around 12 hours (a pressure cooker only requires around 1.5 hours).
That is it! You get gelatinous rich bone broth that can be stored in jars, frozen if needed, added to pretty much any dish to replace water or drunk solo with a bit of salt and lime.
