Health Benefits
Celery seed has been used as medicine for thousands of years to treat colds, flu, water retention, poor digestion, various types of arthritis, and certain diseases of the liver and spleen.
Today, celery seed is used for treating arthritis and gout, and to help reduce muscle spasms, calm the nerves, and reduce inflammation. A few studies suggest that celery seed extracts may help lower blood pressure and cholesterol, as well as protect the liver from damaging substances such as the pain reliever acetaminophen (Tylenol).
Research has shown that people who eat a diet rich in lutein - found in celery, spinach, broccoli, lettuce, tomatoes, oranges, carrots, and greens - were less likely to develop colorectal cancer.
