Detox winter broth #2
Yesterday I juiced a cucumber and pineapple. Tonight I’ll be using the pineapple bark I saved and adding a sprig of rosemary and fresh tumeric to no sodium organic veggie broth to make this healing elixir. This is what it does for the body:
1. Digestive Ease & Lightness
Pineapple skin carries trace bromelain, and while the flesh has far more, the skin still releases a gentle enzymatic “softener” into the broth.
It acts like a quiet janitor: easing the belly, helping proteins break down more smoothly, and reducing that boggy, stagnant feeling after meals.
2. Anti-Inflammatory Support
Both turmeric and rosemary contribute here:
- Turmeric infuses curcumin’s calming influence into the liquid. Even in food-level doses, it softens low-grade inflammation in joints, muscles, and the gut lining.
- Rosemary carries rosmarinic acid — a slightly minty, uplifting compound that has its own anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.
Together they form a subtle “cooling and clearing” wave through the tissues.
3. Liver & Lymph Encouragement
The pineapple skin + turmeric pairing creates a gentle detox signal — not the dramatic kind, more like opening a window in a stuffy room.
- The liver appreciates the bitter-sweet compounds and responds with smoother bile flow.
- The lymphatic system moves more freely, especially with the aromatic push from rosemary.
4. Hydration With Minerals
Even a no-sodium veggie broth contains minerals (potassium, magnesium, trace elements).
Boiling everything together gives you:
- A mineralized, hydrating broth
- A warm fluid that encourages circulation and bowel regularity
- Something easy on digestion and compatible with your raw-till-4 rhythm
5. Antioxidant “Rinse”
Rosemary + pineapple skin produce a golden, aromatic antioxidant infusion.
Think of it like a little internal rinse that:
- Reduces oxidative stress
- Supports skin repair
- Helps the microbiome feel less inflamed and more balanced
6. Mood & Nervous-System Effects
Rosemary is quietly stimulating — not caffeine-sharp, more like a forest waking up.
It can:
- Improve focus
- Support mental clarity
- Lighten mental fogTurmeric adds a grounding quality, like someone turning the dimmer down on inflammation-related irritability.
Overall Feel in the Body
Most people experience:
- Lighter digestion
- A sense of warmth and clarity
- Slight detoxification without harshness
- Better circulation
- Reduced bloat
- A little lift in mood and focus
It’s the kind of brew that feels like a low-key spa treatment for your insides — not dramatic, not overwhelming, just steady nourishment.
