Description
Celery seed has been used as a medicine for thousands of years in the Eastern World. Today, celery seed is used mostly as a diuretic, meaning it helps your body eliminate water by increasing urine output.
Celery seed is also used for:
- Supporting arthritis and gout
- Helping reduce muscle spasms
- Calming the nerves
- Reducing inflammation
- Lowering blood pressure
Celery is a healthy herb or spice, often used to reduce the need for salt in cooking. The seeds contain apigenin and isoquerticin, compounds that help blood vessels to expand, lowering blood pressure.
As a natural diuretic, celery can reduce excess water build up and decrease the uric acid that causes pain and inflammation in gout and arthritis.
Celery seed has been used by people to aid in soothing rheumatoid arthritis and helps ease inflammation associated with the urinary tract and cystitis.
