Chicken Soup For The HORMONES
CHICKEN SOUP IS GOOD FOR THE SOUL.. and hormones.. and immune system!
I've been playing around with this tasty Ginger Chicken Soup recipe and finally have it just as I like it. I am also very excited about the powerhouse of nutritious ingredients included! This soup is filled with ingredients that support digestion, inflammation, and detoxification - all things we need to make sure we have under control if we want happy, balanced hormones.
These ingredients support your hormones, but they also provide immense support to your whole immune system as well with their high anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties.
..Oh and did I mention it tastes AMAZING?
This recipe calls for a few different doTERRA essential oils. If using essential oils internally be sure to make sure you are using a PROVEN and TRUSTED brand (why I ALWAYS choose doTERRA).

But don't worry, if you don't have these oils on hand you can always make this recipe using fresh herbs/ spices as well!
