Bone broth is traditionally used to support the immune system during times of illness and recovery. But it’s not the only food that people turn to for a little added support. Medicinal mushrooms, such as reishi, shiitake, and chaga, can also act as powerful allies. You can often find them at well-stocked herb shops or purchase them online from a reputable vendor such as Mountain Rose Herbs or Starwest Botanicals.

They help support your body during times of stress or when your immune system needs a little extra assistance. They add both flavor and medicinal benefits in this deeply savory broth, with the added boost of garlic, onions, and fresh sage.
