Healing low histamine meat broth

While it’s possible to get a lower histamine bone broth by simmering it for a shorter time e.g. 30 minutes to 2 hours, this recipe is safer, especially if you’re very sensitive or have MCAS.

This meat broth means you can still get some of the same benefits, including that it helps heal the gut lining, improves joint health, supports better sleep, and is an easily digested source of vitamins and minerals, depending on what vegetables and herbs you add.
