How to make Chicken Broth video
Health Impact News Editor Comments:
Bone broths have a long tradition of being known to promote healing in several ways, including fighting off infections from viruses that cause the flu and colds. Bone broths also promote healthy digestion, reduce joint pain and inflammation, and they provide essential nutrition to promote healthy bones, hair, and nails.
But to experience these benefits, you need to make your own bone broth from bones that come from healthy animals. Most commercial chicken, for example, are raised on a diet of high concentrations of soybeans, as well as arsenic and antibiotics. Packaged beef broths are most likely produced from leftovers after processing beef in CAFOs (confined animal feeding operations) and contain growth hormones and antibiotics.
Seek out pastured chickens and grass-fed meats directly from the farmer, and then HANG ON TO THE BONES!! They are a rich treasure chest of good nutrition when made into broths.
Bone Broth—One of Your Most Healing Diet Staples

Excerpts:
According to an old South American proverb, “good broth will resurrect the dead.” While that’s undoubtedly an exaggeration, it speaks to the value placed on this wholesome food, going back through the annals of time.
The featured article by Dr. Amy Myers lists 10 health benefits of bone broth. Sally Fallon with the Weston A. Price Foundation has previously published information about this healing food as well.
First and foremost, homemade bone broth is excellent for speeding healing and recuperation from illness. You’ve undoubtedly heard the old adage that chicken soup will help cure a cold, and there’s scientific support for such a statement.
For starters, chicken contains a natural amino acid called cysteine, which can thin the mucus in your lungs and make it less sticky so you can expel it more easily. Processed, canned soups will not work as well as the homemade version made from slow-cooked bone broth.
For best results, you really need to make up a fresh batch yourself (or ask a friend or family member to do so). If combating a cold, make the soup hot and spicy with plenty of pepper. The spices will trigger a sudden release of watery fluids in your mouth, throat, and lungs, which will help thin down the respiratory mucus so it’s easier to expel.
But the benefits of broth don’t end there. As explained by Sally Fallon:
“Stock contains minerals in a form the body can absorb easily—not just calcium but also magnesium, phosphorus, silicon, sulfur and trace minerals. It contains the broken down material from cartilage and tendons–stuff like chondroitin sulphates and glucosamine, now sold as expensive supplements for arthritis and joint pain.”
