Documented in ancient TCM practices, bone broth was prized for strengthening kidneys, aiding digestion, and boosting overall vitality, often integrated into herbal remedies and daily diets.

Hippocrates, the father of Western medicine, prescribed bone broth—often chicken-based—as a tonic for digestive health and general wellness, emphasizing its restorative qualities.

During the Crimean War, the pioneering nurse used beef tea, a bone broth variant, to nourish and strengthen patients in hospitals, highlighting its "reparative" role in medical care.
