Celery our April Friend
We like our celery stems and leaves but don’t forget the seeds. Celery stems and seeds have long been taken for urinary, rheumatic and arthritic problems as it is a good cleansing, diuretic herb, whilst the seeds are used specifically for arthritic complaints to help remove excess wastes and acids.
The seeds are used for treating rheumatic conditions, arthritis and gout. They help the kidneys dispose of urates and other waste products, and work to reduce acidity in the body as a whole. In all the seeds help, helping to detoxify the body and improve the circulation of blood to the muscles and joints.
Celery seeds also have a mild diuretic and significantly antiseptic action. They are an effective treatment for cystitis, helping to disinfect the bladder and urinary tubules. They are also beneficial for chest problems such as asthma and bronchitis.
You Don’t Throw Away Celery Leaves Do You?
I know the supermarkets chop a lot of them off but if you can buy them with them still on, so much the better. Tasty in salads and to munch, you can also make them into ‘peppery pesto’.
