Herb

Celery

Parts Used: Dried ripe fruit.

Collection: The seeds should be collected when ripe in the fall

Celery Seeds find their main use in the treatment of rheumatism, arthritis, and gout. They are especially useful in Rheumatoid Arthritis where there is an associated mental depression. Their diuretic action is obviously involved in rheumatic conditions, but they are also used as a urinary antiseptic, largely because of the volatile oil apiol.

Infusion: Pour a cup of boiling water onto 1 - 2 teaspoonfuls of freshly crushed seeds. Leave to infuse for 10 - 15 minutes. This should be drunk three times a day.
