History and Uses:
Celery is a widely cultivated, biennial plant which also grows wild in salty soils of North and South America, Europe and Africa. Celery has been widely used as both a food and a medication since the Middle Ages, and medicinal preparations began to emerge in the New World in the late nineteenth century that generally contained the juice of crushed celery seeds. Today, Celery Seed is used therapeutically due to the presence of constituents in the volatile oil component of the seed and is most often taken to aid in the maintenance of healthy joints. It is said to be useful for those who wish to reduce the degeneration of body joints that commonly occurs with age and can also ease joint discomfort that occurs due to inflammation and is, in fact, mainly used for the relief of symptoms of such conditions as arthritis, rheumatism and gout. Celery Seed also has an antiseptic property that makes it useful to the health of the urinary tract and a diuretic property to help relieve fluid retention. These properties can prove useful in cases of bladder disorders, cystitis and kidney disorders. Celery is said to promote the elimination of uric acid and also promote the onset of menstruation. Celery Seed can help soothe the nerves and relieve pain, and consuming Celery Seed in food also aids in the digestion of protein.

Recommended Dosage:
Take one (1) to two (2) capsules each day with water at mealtimes.

Contraindications:
Celery Seed should not be used during pregnancy, as it is a uterine stimulant. Although used to promote digestive health, large amounts (many times the recommended dosage) should not be taken, since it may cause minor stomach upsets and diarrhea, in which case you should stop taking it. Use of Celery Seed may also increase photosensitivity. Any strong diuretic should not be used without a doctor's advice when acute kidney problems exist, and because Celery Seed is a strong diuretic, it should not be taken by those who are already taking prescription diuretic medications. When taking strong diuretics, it is wise to eat foods high in potassium (banana, etc.). Do not take Celery without talking to your doctor first if you are taking any blood thinning medicine, i.e., warfarin (Coumadin), clopidogrel (Plavix), aspirin, enoxaparin (Lovenox), dalteparin (Fragmin).
