Celery Seed by Nature's Herbs
Description
Nature's Herbs premium quality celery seed is cultivated from the wet lowlands of India. Its Latin botanical name, Apium, is purported to be taken from a prehistoric Indo-European word for water. If that's true, it is entirely appropriate since celery grows best in wet and salty soils, swamps and marshes. Indian specialists in the 17th century developed the familiar stalk celery we eat today from this wild plant.Today, celery seed is used primarily as a diuretic to promote the excretion of urine. The diuretic action combined with the presence of anti-bacterial compounds in celery seed also make it useful in treating urinary tract infections. Laboratory studies have found that compounds in celery seed and its essential oil may also help reduce muscle spasms, calm the nerves, and reduce inflammation. In fact, some experts claim that celery seed alleviates the pain associated with certain inflammatory health conditions such as arthritis and gout.

There are no known scientific reports of interactions between celery seed and conventional medications. However, given that celery seed is an herb with diuretic effects, people taking prescription diuretics (such as furosemide or hydrochlorothiazide) should not take this herb without first consulting a healthcare provider. Similarly, celery contains properties that may thin the blood, thus making it somewhat of a concern to take with blood thinning medications such as warfarin or aspirin. If you take warfarin in particular you should not use celery seed without first consulting your healthcare provider.
