It seems more than a bit gimicky, but no harm in having a theme I suppose.
It made me think about therapeutic salt baths; epsom and others. Perhaps it more the MSG that tends to be rather high in ramen broths that has more of the health benefits than the pork.
Considering how close human biology is to that of pigs, I can see the cannibalism thought process too. Bathers stewing in pork broth does bring visions of huge cauldrons on open fires ..... this is just the "instant" version already in the soup bowl.
