Vital Broths

VITAL BROTHS is a new company that crafts small batch artisanal herb, vegetable, and bone broths. These are designed to replenish vitamins and minerals we lose every day, repair us on a cellular level by providing nutrient-dense building blocks, and rejuvenate us with healing qualities. VITAL BROTHS are not a traditional broth but more aptly thought of as a sipping tonic which is wonderful warmed and sipped as a tea, but is equally wonderful as a base for a simple soup. Our broths are made from locally sourced organic vegetables and herbs, and antibiotic-free, growth hormone-free and GMO-free pasture raised meat & bones. Specialty herbs are researched to find the highest quality. Each broth is thoughtfully crafted in small batches to ensure quality and taste. I am a family physician who has practiced for over a decade in the local Portland metro area. The idea of VITAL BROTHS stems from a meeting I had with a close friend who was undergoing treatment for colon cancer. She told me how helpful homemade bone-based broths were especially on those days that this was the only food she could tolerate. However, these broths were difficult for her to make because of the preparation time involved coupled with her compromised stamina and energy. After hearing my friend's experience and reflecting on my own, I realized that these amazing broths have such an important role, such a vital role, in health and healing. As a doctor and now also a mother, I became even more passionate about educating myself on "food as medicine," reading scientific literature and consulting with nutritionists and non-traditional health providers. Broths have been a staple in human diets for centuries but with modernization, we find grocery shelves selling boxed liquids that contain too many additives, salts, preservatives, and chemicals. I wanted something much better for my body, my family, my friends, my patients. It has become one of my passions to develop these Vital Broths which use all natural, simple ingredients to create savory broths infused with well thought-out ingredients and cupfuls of pure goodness! My hope is that you and your loved ones will find these broths a vital part of your life.
