are also mildly diuretic and may be used to treat conditions such as cystitis.
Possessing some ability to lower blood sugar levels, the leaves have been
taken for diabetes. The oil is nourishing and improves the balance of fats
within the blood. It is traditionally taken with lemon juice in teaspoonful
doses to treat gallstones. The oil has a generally protective action on
the digestive tract and is useful for dry skin. Externally, it is a good,

55)
PARSLEY (Petroselinum crispum) (Umbelliferae)
|
|
Parsley
is probably native from northern and central Europe and western Asia. It
was known in ancient Greece and Rome - but more as a diuretic, digestive
tonic and stimulant of the menstrual flow than as a salad herb. Parsley
leaves, seed and root treat urinary tract infections and help eliminate
kidney stones. It also stimulates appetite and increases blood flow to
digestive organs, as well as reduces fevers. Parsley was introduced into
Britain in 1548. Parsley has the unusual ability of masking strong odors,
that of garlic in particular (which is one of reason for the herb's frequent
use as a garnish in cookery). Parsley root is more commonly prescribed
than the seeds or leaves in herbal medicine. It is taken as a treatment
for flatulence, cystitis and rheumatic conditions. Parsley is also valued
as a promoter of menstruation, being helpful both in stimulating a delayed
period and in relieving menstrual pain.
MAIN
PROPERTIES: Digestive, diuretic.
