Intestinal Permeability Soother

When you're feeling under the weather, there's nothing quite like a warm, comforting bowl of soup. This intestinal permeability soother is packed with bone broth, vegetables, and herbs that are all known for their gut-healing properties. Simmered together for 30 minutes, the ingredients release their nutrients and flavors, creating a broth that is both soothing and restorative.

The gut is a complex and fascinating organ system that plays a vital role in our overall health and well-being. It's responsible for digesting food, absorbing nutrients, and eliminating waste. Unfortunately, our gut can also be damaged by a variety of factors, including stress, poor diet, and certain medications. When the gut is damaged, it can lead to a condition called intestinal permeability, which is when the lining of the gut becomes leaky and allows toxins and bacteria to enter the bloodstream. This can lead to a variety of health problems, including food sensitivities, autoimmune diseases, and chronic inflammation.

• Carrots, celery, and onion are all high in fiber, which helps to bulk up stool and promote regular bowel movements.
• Garlic is a natural antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory agent.
• Oregano and thyme are both herbs that have been shown to have gut-healing properties.
