Celery Seed
Celery seed is not well-known in Western herbal medicine, although it has been used medicinally for millennia in other parts of the world. Ayurvedic medicine uses celery seed to treat colds, flu, water retention, poor digestion, arthritis, and certain diseases of the liver and spleen.
Celery seed is used primarily as a diuretic (increasing urine output to help the body get rid of excess water). Celery seed is also suggested for treating arthritis and gout, and to help reduce muscle spasms, calm the nerves, and reduce inflammation.
A few animal 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).
Celery seed may help prevent the formation of cancerous tumors in mice. In humans, researchers have found that people who eat a diet rich in lutein (from celery, spinach, broccoli, lettuce, tomatoes, oranges, carrots, and greens) were significantly less likely to develop colorectal cancer.
Celery seeds contain several substances including volatile oils, flavonoids (plant antioxidants that may protect cells from damage), coumarins (chemical compounds that help thin the blood), and linoleic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid).
There are no known scientific reports on the use of celery seed in children, so it is not recommended for children under 18.
The use of herbs is a time-honoured approach to strengthening the body and treating disease. Herbs, however, can trigger side effects and can interact with other herbs, supplements, or medications. For these reasons, herbs including celery seed should be taken with care, under the supervision of a health care provider.
Pregnant women should not use celery seed because it may lead to uterine bleeding and muscle contractions in the uterus, which could cause miscarriage.
People with active kidney inflammation should also avoid celery.
Some people who are allergic to birch pollen may also be allergic to celery seed.
Active compounds in celery stems and seeds can cause the skin to become highly sensitive to the sun's UV rays (called photodermatitis). For this reason, people taking celery seed should use sunscreen or sunblock lotions.
Celery seeds should not be taken from a garden packet, because these seeds have usually been treated with chemicals and should not be taken internally.
Because of the lack of scientific studies, it is unknown whether celery seed interacts with other herbs and medications. However, people who take the following medications should avoid celery seed:
Diuretics: Celery seed also has diuretic properties and could make the effects of these medications stronger, resulting in dehydration. If you take diuretics, talk to your doctor before taking celery seed.
Anticoagulants: Celery contains chemicals that may thin the blood and make the effects of these medications stronger, which could increase the risk of excessive bleeding. Do not take celery seed if you also take anticoagulants such as warfarin.
