Hippocrates Healing Broth

This broth is the perfect remedy if you or a loved have gotten sick or feel like you may be coming down with something.

This is a go-to remedy for colds and the flu.

The vegetables, herbs, and roots in this broth provide a strong dose of vitamins and minerals, plus have anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties.

If you don't have all of the ingredients on hand, just use what you have. I once made a healing broth from just 4 garlic cloves, 1/2 an onion, 2 carrots, celery, cilantro, and ginger powder and it still helped (a lot!) (reduce amount of ginger if using less than the suggested ingredients so that your broth isn't too spicy.)
