Easy Detox Broth: veggie broth, apple, tumeric, bay leaf
Hydration + Mineral Infusion (Veggie Broth Base)
Even a no-sodium organic vegetable broth contains:

- Phytonutrients from slow-simmered vegetables
- Trace minerals that gently support adrenal and kidney function
Effect:
- Restores hydration
- Supports low-level detox
- Warms digestion without being heavy
Chinese Medicine:
- Light vegetable broth supports Spleen Qi and warms the center without dampness.
2. Apple → Gentle Liver, Gut & Lung Support
Apples add:
- Pectin → binds toxins in the gut
- Malic acid → softens tissues, supports the liver
- Natural sweetness → harmonizes digestion
Effects:
- Settles digestion
- Soothes inflammation in the gut lining
- Mild blood sugar stabilization
Chinese Medicine:
- Apples generate body fluids (Jin-Ye) and mildly moisten the Lungs
- The sweet neutral nature nourishes Spleen and calms the middle.
3. Turmeric → Anti-inflammatory, Circulation, Liver Qi Movement
Turmeric offers:
- Curcumin (major anti-inflammatory)
- Mild cholagogue effect (moves bile)
- Circulation improvement
Effects:

4. Bay Leaves → Digestive + Blood Sugar Regulation
Bay leaf compounds (cineole, eugenol) help:

- Calm smooth muscle of the gut
- Slight antimicrobial effect
Effects:
- Less bloating

- Better digestion of heavier foods
Chinese Medicine:

5. The Combination → A Warm, Anti-Inflammatory, Kidneys-Supporting Winter Tonic
When these ingredients simmer together, you create a:
- Warm, easily digestible therapeutic broth
- Anti-inflammatory elixir
- Spleen-friendly, Qi-building tonic
- Kidney-supportive winter drink
- Gentle detoxifier without cold/raw juices
Why It Works So Well:
Warm water + phytonutrients opens digestion, increases circulation, and provides an easy “reset” for the system.
