20 Organic Heirloom Celery seed.Great table variety.Love love them.The benefits of this fine herbal seed may likely go beyond its culinary use, however: many studies have indicated that celery seeds provide powerful medicinal effects, and may be safe (and flavorful!) alternatives to conventional medicines. Celery seeds can relieve and prevent many conditions, from gout to hypertension.
Like all medicinal plants, the volatile oils of the celery plant are most concentrated in the seeds, giving them the most powerful medicinal effect. Celery seeds have a high content of omega-6 fatty acids, mild blood-thinning compounds, diuretic oils, flavonoids, and antioxidants. When combined, the compounds in celery seed work synergistically to fight a number of common ailments.
In herbalism, celery seed's most common use, by far, is its reported ability to combat gout and other forms of arthritis.
Like other diuretics, including coffee and guarana, celery seed stimulates activity in the kidneys, causing the body to flush out uric acid and the other toxin crystals that cause gout. Rheumatoid arthritis, which can also be caused or worsened by excessive uric acid, can also be eliminated with the introduction of a diuretic.
Celery seed's diuretic effect might also be used for treating other conditions related to water retention, including edema.Some women may choose to use celery seed to combat symptoms of bloating caused by PMS or menstruation, and many people with chronic edema have used it to alleviate the discomfort associated with swollen hands and feet.
Another important use for celery seed is its well-researched ability to fight high cholesterol, obesity, and hypertension. Although research backs these uses, there are other herbal remedies that are equally effective or more so; the general population has not yet caught on to this wonderful medicinal usage. Simply cooking with celery might help with issues over time.
