Many unhealthy conditions and diseases are caused by over-acidic blood.  Excess acidity can be caused by lack of fruits and vegetables in the regular diet, along with excess meat, eggs, wheat and flour products, sugar, alcohol.  Focus on dramatically increasing your intake of vegetables and fruits, along with non-acidic grains such as millet and quinoa to make your blood more alkaline. Drink this broth several times a week, with the cooked vegetables if desired, to increase alkalinity.  Double the recipe and freeze in small batches for later.  This recipe is adapted from the book "Complete Natural Medicine Guide to Women's Health" by Sat Dharam Kaur, ND.
