By A.L. Childers | September 30, 2025


Discover how Healing Stews & Enchanted Brews: A Witchy Crockpot Cookbook by A.L. Childers supports hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s through clean eating, thyroid-friendly recipes, and spiritual cleansing rituals that nurture body, mind, and spirit.

🧠✨ When Food Becomes Medicine and Magic

For those living with hypothyroidism or Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, every meal matters. What you put into your body directly affects your energy, hormones, digestion, and mood. But what if healing your thyroid wasn’t just about what’s on the plate — what if it was also about the energy, intention, and history behind the food?

That’s the heart of my new book, Healing Stews & Enchanted Brews: A Witchy Crockpot Cookbook. This isn’t just another clean eating guide. It’s a crockpot grimoire — a bridge between ancestral healing recipes, modern thyroid care, and spiritual nourishment.

🥄🌿 Thyroid-Friendly, Soul-Healing Recipes

Many traditional cookbooks overlook the unique dietary needs of those with Hashimoto’s or autoimmune thyroid disease. I wrote this book to fill that gap. Inside, you’ll find more than 70 recipes crafted to support clean eating and gentle detoxification — all while honoring the spiritual and historical roots of food.

Some featured recipes include:

  • 🫕 Bone Broth of Blessings — A slow-cooked ancestral broth infused with mineral-rich herbs to soothe the gut and support immune function.
  • 🌾 Root & Herb Healing Stew — A grounding recipe that stabilizes blood sugar and gently supports adrenal health, crucial for those with thyroid disorders.
  • 🍎 Apple & Cinnamon Cleansing Brew — A simmer pot recipe designed to reduce inflammation while cleansing the home’s energy.
  • 🧄 Garlic & Turmeric Immunity Cauldron — A powerful anti-inflammatory stew perfect for immune system balance.
  • 🍋 Lemon Balm Moon Brew — A calming tea-like infusion to ease anxiety, promote better sleep, and nurture the nervous system.

Each recipe is intentionally free from common thyroid triggers like refined sugars, gluten, and heavily processed ingredients. Instead, the focus is on whole foods, seasonal herbs, and time-honored cooking techniques that heal from the inside out.

🧘‍♀️✨ Healing Beyond the Physical: Clean Eating Meets Spiritual Cleansing

Thyroid disease doesn’t just affect the body — it impacts your mind, emotions, and spirit. That’s why Healing Stews & Enchanted Brews doesn’t stop at clean recipes. Each section is paired with:

  • 🌙 Mindful stirring rituals to infuse meals with intention.
  • 🔥 Seasonal correspondences to align your cooking with the natural rhythms of the Earth.
  • 🧼 Spiritual cleansing practices like simmer pots, herb bundles, and moon brews to clear stagnant energy in your home.
  • 🕯 Ancestral storytelling that connects you back to the women and healers who cooked before us.

When you bring together clean eating, thyroid support, and witchy kitchen wisdom, something beautiful happens: your body begins to heal, your mind finds clarity, and your spirit remembers its power.

🌟 Why This Book Is a Must-Have for Those with Hypothyroidism or Hashimoto’s

✅ Thyroid-Friendly Recipes — Designed with anti-inflammatory, gut-healing ingredients.
🌿 Holistic Healing Approach — Supports mind, body, and spirit simultaneously.
🔥 Witchy Wisdom Meets Modern Science — Blends herbal traditions, spiritual rituals, and clean nutritional practices.

🧠 1. Mind — Lemon Balm & Lavender “Clarity Cauldron” Brew

For mental calm, focus, and emotional balance

Ingredients:

Instructions:

  1. Add water, lemon balm, lavender, and cinnamon stick to your crockpot.

  4. Sip slowly during moments of overwhelm, meditation, or journaling.

Why it works for the Mind:

  • Lemon balm is known to calm overactive thoughts and support thyroid function, making it excellent for those with Hashimoto’s or anxiety.
  • Lavender reduces cortisol and promotes mental clarity.
  • The slow simmering turns your kitchen into a sanctuary, allowing your nervous system to unwind with every breath.

🪄 Witchy Tip: Stir clockwise while repeating a mental clarity affirmation, such as:

“With each sip, my mind is still, my thoughts align, and peace flows through me.”

🫕 2. Body — Garlic, Turmeric & Root Healing Stew

For physical nourishment, inflammation reduction, and grounding

  2. Cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the meat and roots are tender and the broth is golden.
  3. Before serving, stir slowly while saying a quiet blessing of gratitude for the nourishment before you.

Why it works for the Body:

  • Garlic and turmeric are potent anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial allies, supporting immune and thyroid function.
  • Root vegetables ground the body, stabilize blood sugar, and provide steady energy—vital for those with hypothyroidism.
  • Bone broth heals the gut lining, which is crucial in autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto’s.
  • Apple cider vinegar enhances nutrient absorption and gut health.

🔥 Witchy Tip: Visualize golden light infusing the stew as it cooks. This is nourishment on a cellular and energetic level — food becoming medicine and magic.

🌿 3. Spirit — Apple & Cinnamon Simmering Brew of Blessings

For spiritual cleansing, home protection, and heart-centered rituals

Ingredients:

  • 6 cups water
  • 1–2 organic apples, sliced (symbol of knowledge, abundance & healing)
  • 2 cinnamon sticks (protection, prosperity)
  • 1 tsp whole cloves (banishing negativity)
  • Peel of 1 orange or lemon (purification)
  • Optional: sprig of rosemary or bay leaf for added spiritual potency

Instructions:

  1. Add all ingredients to your crockpot.
  2. Set on LOW with the lid off and allow it to simmer throughout the day, releasing aroma and energy into your home.
  3. As it simmers, walk through your space slowly, breathing deeply and allowing the scent to cleanse your energetic field.

Why it works for the Spirit:

  • Apples and cinnamon carry centuries of magical correspondences for abundance, love, and warmth.
  • The cloves and citrus peel purify stagnant energy, making way for fresh blessings.
  • This simmering pot is not meant to drink—it’s meant to infuse your home with spiritual intention, aligning the energy of your space with your heart and purpose.

✨ Witchy Tip: Whisper your intentions into the steam as it rises. Imagine your home wrapped in golden light and gentle protection.

5 Quick and Easy Hashimoto’s-Friendly Recipes

By A.L. Childers
(Inspired by my book: “Hashimoto’s Crock-pot Recipes“)

Introduction: Simple Meals for Thyroid Healing

When managing Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, the thought of cooking every meal from scratch can feel overwhelming. Between balancing your energy levels and making sure every ingredient supports your thyroid health, mealtime might seem more like a chore than a joy.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. In my book, Hashimoto’s Crock-pot Recipes, I set out to make thyroid-friendly cooking as simple and delicious as possible. Using the convenience of a slow cooker, these recipes are designed to be nutrient-dense, anti-inflammatory, and—most importantly—easy to prepare.

Here are five of my favorite Hashimoto’s-friendly recipes that prove you can nourish your body without spending hours in the kitchen.
