Those old wives’ tales really knew their stuff.
When your nervous system is overloaded, digestion, energy and mood usually take the first hit.
Bone broth is one of the simplest ways to bring in warmth, minerals and deep nourishment your body can actually use, especially during stressful seasons.
To make yours more flavourful and supportive for gut + stress recovery, here are 5 ingredients to add next time you make it:
1️⃣ Fennel - sweetness + smoother digestion
Naturally sweetens the broth and helps calm bloating and tension in the gut.
2️⃣ Ginger - anti-inflammatory + grounding
Supports stomach motility, reduces inflammation and brings warmth that soothes an overstimulated system.
3️⃣ Bay Leaves - flavour depth + gentle nervous system support
Adds aromatic richness and compounds linked to calming the body’s stress response.
4️⃣ Shiitake Mushrooms - immune support + umami
Rich in beta-glucans for immune health and give the broth a savoury depth.
5️⃣ Parsley - mineral boost for stressed bodies
Full of magnesium, potassium and vitamin C, nutrients we burn through quickly when cortisol is high.
Bone broth is basically the wellbeing equivalent of hugging yourself from the inside - warm, steady, nourishing and so easy to digest when everything else feels a bit ‘too much’.
