Not Just a Garnish - The Health Benefits of Parsley
Whenever we go out, most of my family automatically passes me the parsley on their plate.
I enjoyed eating it long before I learned of the medicinal and nutritional values of the plant.
It was just a good way to end an enjoyable meal.
Parsley isn't understood all that much, but there are several important attributes to it.
It is probable that the original use of the plant on the dinner plate was practical rather pretty.
Before the birth of modern medicine, many herbs were routinely used to take care of life's little problems.
If you enjoy garlic or other strong flavored herbs, you may want to pay attention to this paragraph.
The "garlic breath" you suffer from is not going to go away, no matter how much you brush and gargle.
It's not on your tongue or teeth, it's in your saliva.
If you weren't aware, it's also in your sweat.
There is only one way to get rid of this problem, it has to be done from the inside.
One of the fastest ways to resolve the problem is to eat parsley.
It may also decrease gas and flatulence, which will make life a lot easier for you.
I suspect that this is the real reason it was chosen for the job.
As an herbal remedy, the strong diuretic properties of the plant come in very handy.
It also contains potassium, a mineral that is often depleted when using other types of water pills.
If you are having difficulties with tardy menstruation, a few cups of tea made from this member of the carrot family could help you out.
Have a care, though, if you are pregnant.
Anything that could start menstruation could cause a miscarriage.
I also do not advise you to use it or any other herb as a means to get rid of an unwanted pregnancy.
There are things that could go wrong that would threaten your life.
Besides the potassium content, this garnish also contains several vitamins, including many of the B complex and C.
Extra sources of these are as important now as they were generations ago, as few of us eat enough fruits and vegetables...
or take supplements.
The taste of raw parsley may take some getting used to, but it isn't unpleasant.
It and its cousins are often used in cooking, so you may already be familiar with it.
Next time you are out to dinner, why don't you try a bite? Note: If you are on any medications or you have a medical condition, check with your doctor before using parsley as a supplement.
Some medications can interact with herbs, so it's a good idea to check ahead of time.
