When it comes to your gut, you have to care for it like you would a little puppy, i.e. treat it with every ounce of love you have in your soul. This starts with the foods you put in your body, but we know eating like a saint all the time isn\u2019t on everyone\u2019s agenda. Rather than running to the pharmacy after a highly acidic or deep fried meal to grab products that\u2019ll only work temporarily, try making this healing stock to soothe your gut<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making your own herbal remedies<\/a> means that you know how they\u2019ll taste, and you know exactly what the ingredients are. Preparing a healing stock is the best way to get amino acids and gut-healing gelatin in your diet<\/strong>. Additionally, you\u2019ll be getting a boatload of healing properties from the various ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This vegetable stock goes above and beyond a mirepoix<\/em>, which is a French technique that uses carrots, celery, and onion to flavor soups or stews<\/a>. The primary healing properties come from the mushrooms, garlic, onion, and leeks.<\/strong> Because onions, leeks, and garlic are naturally antibiotic, they work to remedy a sore stomach or a leaky gut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Onions <\/strong>are probably the most important ingredient in this gut-healing stock because they have antiviral<\/a>, anti-inflammatory<\/a>, and anti-allergenic properties. They basically have a sealing effect on the gut that inhibits intestinal permeability. Plus, onions, garlic, and leeks promote healthy bacteria in the large intestine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to selecting mushrooms<\/a> <\/strong>for this broth, it is best to go for shiitake mushrooms because they help boost the immune system<\/a>. If you can\u2019t get your hands on these, cremini mushrooms are rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. Let the broth cook longer to get a rich, earthy mushroom flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
