Healing Mineral Broth is a nutrient-dense, deeply nourishing elixir crafted from a medley of vegetables, herbs, and sometimes animal bones, slowly simmered to extract their vital minerals and phytonutrients. Unlike regular broth or stock, the primary focus of healing mineral broth is to provide easily absorbable minerals that can support detoxification, gut health, immune function, and overall well-being. This broth is a gentle, yet powerful way to replenish essential nutrients and aid in the body’s natural healing processes. It’s incredibly versatile, serving as a base for soups, stews, sauces, or enjoyed on its own as a comforting and revitalizing drink.

Ingredients

Scale

Gather these ingredients to make your Healing Mineral Broth:

  • 8 cups filtered water

  • 1 cup vegetable scraps (carrot peels, onion skins, celery ends, broccoli stems, etc.) – organic is best

  • 1/2 cup chopped onion

  • 1 cup chopped celery

  • 1 cup chopped carrots

  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed

  • 1 inch ginger, sliced (optional, for immune support)

  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley

  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro

  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (to help extract minerals)

  • 1 sheet kombu seaweed (optional, for added minerals and iodine)

  • 1 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste

  • 1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns

  • 1 bay leaf (optional)

Optional Additions (depending on your needs/preferences):

  • Turmeric (anti-inflammatory)

  • Shiitake mushrooms (immune support)

  • Burdock root (liver support)

  • Nettle leaves (mineral-rich)

  • Small piece of astragalus root (immune boosting, use sparingly)

Instructions

Here’s how to make Healing Mineral Broth:

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large stockpot or Dutch oven, combine all the ingredients: water, vegetable scraps, chopped onion, celery, carrots, garlic, ginger (if using), parsley, cilantro, apple cider vinegar, kombu (if using), sea salt, peppercorns, and bay leaf (if using).

  2. Bring to a Boil: Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.

  3. Reduce Heat and Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for at least 2-3 hours, or up to 4 hours, allowing the flavors and minerals to meld together. The longer it simmers, the more nutrients will be extracted. Maintain a very gentle simmer; avoid a rolling boil.

  4. Strain the Broth: After simmering, carefully strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth-lined colander into a large bowl or container. Discard the solids (vegetable scraps, herbs, etc.).

  5. Cool and Store: Allow the broth to cool completely before storing it in the refrigerator or freezer.

  6. Remove Fat (Optional): If you used any animal bones, you may notice a layer of fat solidifying on the surface as the broth cools. This can be easily skimmed off and discarded before using the broth, if desired.
