Parsley

Healing essence of parsley

Antioxidant
Cardioprotective

Petroselinum crispum



The leaves of this Mediterranean spice are commonly used as garnishes for salads and a variety of other dishes.

The roots of certain varieties are also used as a vegetable. In traditional medicine, parsley has a number of uses, including the prevention of halitosis and the treatment of bladder and kidney problems.

Medicinal properties

Among many other potent antioxidants, parsley contains rosmarinic acid, that inhibits the formation of atheromatous plaques in arteries. That makes it a valuable herb in the fight against heart disease and strokes.

It also contains the powerful anti-cancer compound, limonene.
