Potassium Broth

Potassium Broth Benefits 

Today I made a fresh batch of potassium broth as a family member has been unable to hold food down due to an infected tooth. 

I first learned of potassium broth as a little girl as my brother suffered from Brights’s Disease.When nothing seemed to work for him his pediatrician suggested my mom simmer potatoes, carrots, celery for 2 hours then add the tops of the carrots along with a handful of parsley. My brother was the first person in the AJMA who had gone into remission. He is 63 years old and has had few health issues non which posed as much a threat as during his most formative years.

Later when studying for my certification in Naturopathy and Functional Health and Wellness I took a course on Dr Bernard Jensen’s book “The Chemistry of Man”  Do not let it’s price nor reviews discourage you from purchasing it as it is easily misconstrued as well intricate. Potassium Broth might be one of the easiest and palatable by todays standards this book has to offer.

While on line searches may take you to various deviations from Dr Jensen’s they are all based on the primary ingredients of potato, carrots, celery, and parsley. Dr Bernard used the skin rather than the flesh of the potato, stating that the flesh of potato is more acidic than the skin. 

He was also a proponent of sustaining a pH of the body.  When the body’s pH is slightly off our bodies can feel out of balance. Women notice signs of hormonal and vaginal changes, men and women can have an off scent. For those who would like to read further information can read Webmd, VerywellHealth, and the Vincera Institute.

Potassium broth is often found useful during a cleanse, times of rejuvenation, ordering an illness. This broth is found to be not only immune boosting, and alkalizing, also can be very hydrating while assisting the body in the flushing of retained water.

Dr Jenson was most prominently known for Hidden Valley Health Ranch Retreat and Spa in Altadena Ranch California, founded in 1960. DrJensen is considered to be the pioneer of natural health field in the United States. The original Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing recipe is found in “Salad Favorites Around the World collected by Dr. Bernard Jensen, D.C.”

Variations can include garlic, onions, beets, thyme, even greens dependent on palatability and rejuvenation needs.  Onion, garlic and thyme are well known for their immunity boosting properties.
