Bieler's Gentle Detox Broth

By Malooga

This broth is rich in potassium and sodium, alkalizes the body, and supports the liver and the adrenal glands. It also helps the pancreas control blood sugar.

Adding ghee to the broth brings a host of additional health benefits. Ghee is clarified butter (but with all the toxins removed). In the practice of Ayurveda, ghee is used to heal a wide variety of ailments. It reduces inflammation, lubricates connective tissues, bolsters the immune system, and is believed to promote memory and intelligence.

Bieler’s Broth provides a gentle way to detox, either as the sole food intake, or to supplement a juice fast, but it also works beautifully as an addition to your regular diet.

Place water, zucchini, string beans, and celery in a stock pot.

Bring to a boil, lower heat and simmer for about 30 minutes until vegetables are softened but not over cooked. Spoon the mixture into a blender, add a handful of parsley, and liquefy. I usually pulse a few times to get it started. Make sure you hold onto the lid.
