Celery Supplements

Celery is a vegetable typically used in soups, stews and for making fresh juice. Even though we commonly think of this vegetable for cooking purposes, this plant has more to offer than a little crunch in your soup.

The seeds of the celery plant have been used in Ayurvedic Medicine for a long time. Conditions such as arthritis, fluid retention and colds and flues have long been prescribed celery seeds therapeutically.

In modern times, this plant-based supplement is well known for its anti-inflammatory and anti-oedema effects. Celery seed is often used for the management of arthritis, gout and general fluid retention. The Natural Medicine Journal published a research paper in 2013 illustrating that celery seed extract taken consistently for 6 weeks significantly reduced blood pressure. Therefore, celery seed may have an adjunctive use for the treatment of prehypertension.
