I had an epiphany one day as I was preparing a bowl of ramen. I looked at the little seasoning packet and thought, “What if I made a broth mix, loaded with anti-inflammatory ingredients, that could replace this packet?”

First, a dry ingredient broth mix would be more accessible, being a woman with disabilities. It would be easier to make and easier to physically handle, than a liquid broth. A dry ingredient broth mix would also be shelf-stable. I could also control the quality and strength of the ingredients (vegetable powders and spices) I put in the broth mix, while avoiding unhealthy chemicals and fillers. Loading the broth mix with anti-inflammatory ingredients would help combat inflammation. Make it tasty too and such a broth mix would be amazing.

It took quite a bit of experimenting and testing, but I did it. I created several very tasty broth mixes. that contain some of my favorite anti-inflammatory foods. The resulting broths give me such a pick-me-up (ie. make me feel better), I refer to them as Restorative Broth Mixes. It wasn’t long before I realized that these broth mixes could be used to make more than just broth. They can be used as cooking shortcuts to make soups, sauces, dips, and salad dressings, as well as, used to season rice, vegetables, and proteins like fish, shrimp, chicken, and pork. They can even be made vegan.

RESTORATIVE BROTH MIXES

• ANCHO BROTH MIX
• CELERY BROTH MIX
• CURRY BROTH MIX
• RED PEPPER BROTH MIX
• SPINACH BROTH MIX
• SHIITAKE BROTH MIX
• TAMARIND BROTH MIX

As a woman with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), I use these broth mixes to help manage my MS. When I discovered that inflammation causes MS relapses, with relapses being the worsening of current or creation of new MS symptoms, I incorporated these broth mixes into my beneficial diet to help manage inflammation. And managing inflammation helps manage my MS.

I share these recipes, in the hopes of helping others.
