Celery seed fights gout

Celery stalks are a healthy food, but the seeds are the part most used in plant medicine. Celery seed helps rid the body of uric acid that often causes pain and inflammation in gout and arthritis. Celery is said to be very good for rheumatism, when it is often combined with Coca, Damiana, etc.

Carminative stimulant, diuretic, tonic, nervine, useful in hysteria, promoting restfulness and sleep, and diffusing through the system a mild sustaining influence. Good combined with Scutellaria for nervous cases with loss of tone.

Celery seeds for :Cardiovascular tonic
Cardiovascular tonic The apigenin in celery seeds relaxes blood vessels, allowing them to open wider and permit a freer flow of blood. This is one of more than a dozen chemicals in celery seeds that help your cardiovascular system. Some are natural diuretics, other chemicals are natural calcium channel beta blockers and cardiac rhythm stabilizers, making them valuable against an irregular heartbeat or the chest pain of angina.

James Duke, The Green Pharmacy Herbal Handbook (2000)

Plant Description


The original plant, wild celery, which grows throughout southern Europe, had an acid and bitter taste. Italian farmers developed what we now call celery in the seventeenth century.
