Several times a year, when the kids grow or the seasons change (as they inevitably do), I climb into the dark abyss of our attic to find the next sizes of clothes for their capsule wardrobes<\/a>. Two hours later they all have neatly organized, new (hand-me-down) wardrobes and I\u2019m sneezing like crazy.<\/p>\n Those days remind me of my one remaining allergy \u2014 dust. And it\u2019s a doozy!<\/p>\n I can power through childbirth no problem (I\u2019ve had enough practice<\/a>). I can also push through a 20-mile hike, but dust reduces me to a sneezing pile of grumpiness.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve gotten better about using an air filter when cleaning or switching out clothes in the attic. I also take some allergy remedies <\/a>and they help a lot. But when the dust or hay fever gets bad, I pull out my go-to recipe for Bieler\u2019s vegetable broth (and sneak in a few extra allergy soothing ingredients).<\/p>\n I first heard about this vegetable broth in the book Nourishing Traditions<\/a>. Bieler\u2019s broth was invented by a doctor named Henry Beiler as a detox soup to help promote healing and cleansing in the body. Dr. Bieler claimed that this detox soup recipe would help restore the correct acid\/alkaline balance in the body. He speculated it also helped balance the body\u2019s sodium\/potassium levels.<\/p>\n I love the taste of this vegetable-based broth, though it certainly isn\u2019t as flavorful as my favorite garlic soup<\/a>. The vegetable broth\u2019s benefits are in its nourishing qualities and not its taste. It\u2019s a healthy soup used in many cleanses and detox protocols. Cancer patients often use it for an easy source of nourishment that\u2019s easy on the stomach. I use it to calm down my allergies (see my tip for an add-in below).<\/p>\n I also turn to this delicious soup during illness. The high vitamin C and K content make it great for supporting the immune system. It\u2019s naturally gluten-free, dairy-free, and packed with veggies and fresh herbs.<\/p>\n The true \u201cBieler\u2019s Broth\u201d recipe contains only the ingredients above and it\u2019s wonderful just like that. When allergies hit, I add a few extra ingredients to help calm them down. These are all optional but add flavor and nutrients.<\/p>\n This broth is quick and easy to make. Gather the ingredients above and you can make it in under half an hour. Whether it\u2019s the new year and you\u2019ve resolved to start with a cleanse or just need to detox, Bieler\u2019s broth is a great option.
