Parsley Root 2oz.

Historically used: Parsley has diuretic properties and has been used to treat fluid retention (edema or dropsy) and to speed up the elimination of harmful toxins from the digestive system. Parsley increases the secretion of digestive fluids which may lead to better digestion, improved nutrient uptake, and less intestinal gas production. It may also be used as a remedy for colic and other digestive problems. Parsley contains flavonoids (apiin), glucosides, phthalide, furanocoumarins, carotenoids, vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B5, C and E, and minerals such as iron, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, selenium, sulfur, copper and manganese.
