Celery Seed - Rheumatic and Gout Pain

Information

Celery tea offers benefits like:

• Supporting Urinary System and Reduces Fluid Retention: Known for its diuretic properties, it helps the body eliminate excess water and toxins, benefiting the urinary tract.
• Reduces Uric Acid & Rheumatic Joint Pain: Celery seeds help wash out uric acid from the body, making them a popular choice for treating gout and supporting joint health.
• Lowers Blood Pressure: It contains compounds that act as natural calcium channel blockers, helping to relax the smooth muscles lining blood vessels and potentially lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure.

Rheumatic tea preparation: 1 teaspoon (crush to release the oils) steeped for 10-20 minutes in 1 cup of hot water, strain and sip at your pace. Add honey, lemon or ginger (optional). Max 2 cups per day.

For an extra boost add juniper berries for increase kinfey stress symptoms.

Gout tea preparation: Place 15 grams (approx half an ounce) of Celery seed in a saucepan with 1 large cup of water.

Briefly bring the Celery seeds to the boil, cover the saucepan and then allow the mixture to cool for about 5-7 minutes, then strain off the liquid from the seeds and drink. You may find it helpful to dilute it with some cool water if it is too hot or too thick to be easily drunk nice and quickly (this is not a tea you would probably drink for pleasure!)

You can repeat this treatment as often as required and you can do it twice or a maximum of 3 times a day if things are particularly bad but note that it still may take up to 48 hours to see a major turnaround with the gout.

Safety:

Celery seed is regarded as an extremely safe herb that can be used by all ages. It will be entirely safe to take whilst pregnant or breastfeeding and should in fact encourage the flow of healthy milk.

A person who has kidney disease may find strong celery seed extracts to be aggravating as it contains an essential oil (terpenes and phthalides, especially 3-n-butyl) that has potent effects on stimulating kidney cells. Allergy to celery is fairly common, especially among those with sensitivity to birch pollen-related allergens. 

Note that if intending to use a course of Celery seed as a medicine it is important to obtain the seed from a trusted supplier of herbal medicines as many Celery seeds are sprayed with fungicides and would be unwise to use internally in high doses.
