Bright basil, sage, and gut-soothing fennel complement this light, savory broth featuring white button and woodsy maitake mushrooms. Basil and sage are traditionally used to lift the spirit, while the optional herb ashwagandha is used in Ayurvedic medicine to buffer the body against stress. The sea vegetable kombu is rich in magnesium, a vital mineral for relaxation.

When you combine these ingredients, you make a mineral-rich sipping broth packed with gut-friendly collagen and plenty of nourishing plant compounds.
