\r\n \r\n\r\nCool\r\n\r\n Health Benefits of Parsley\r\n

\r\n \r\n Parsley is easy to grow in almost any little corner of your garden or a flower pot - why ever be without it? It is a bi-annual, which means it will grow the first year and die back when the frost arrives. The seeds can be sown as early as February, but then it takes much longer to germinate. Most people wait until April or May to get the largest amount of plant material for late-summer gathering. Planting in July gives you a late fall crop.
\nParsley prefers to be planted in moist, humus rich soil and partial shade.
\n
\nParsley is an amazing medicinal herb, is delightful to the taste and agreeable to the stomach. It is a very versatile plant to aid the body in regaining health. The root contains calcium, B-complex vitamins, and iron, all of which nourish the glands that help regulate the uptake of calcium. It is a source of both magnesium and calcium, and especially potassium.
\n
\nParsley is high in vitamin A, beta-carotene and vitamin C. As a wholesome organic-food it is also a good choice for bone health with vitamin K (536 mg in an average serving).
\n
\nTraditionally. parsley has been used for congestion and inflammation of the kidneys and bladder, gravel, stones, and urine retention. The root and leaves are excellent for the liver and spleen.
\n
\nIt is also one of the best reliefs for edema, helping when other remedies have failed; parsley is a very reliable diuretic remedy often ignored today. Parsley root and seeds contain ingredients that help produce a pain relieving benefit to relax stiff joints.
\n
\nMany people use parsley root tea to make stiff and unmanageable fingers work again. Pour a quart of boiling water over a cup of firmly packed fresh parsley and steep for 15 minutes. Strain and then refrigerate.
\nParsley works on the gall bladder and will remove gallstones if used properly by taking a pint of the tea daily. Parsley is a specific for the adrenal glands, is powerfully therapeutic for the optic nerves, the brain and the sympathetic nervous system.
\n
\nParsley juice is an excellent tonic for the blood vessels, particularly the capillaries and arterioles. But remember that raw parsley juice is a most potent juice and should never be taken alone in quantities of more than one or two ounces at a time unless it is mixed into a sufficient quantity of carrot or other juices. Parsley can help with expelling watery poisons, excess mucus, flatulence (gas), and reducing swollen or enlarged glands.
\n
\nThe usual remedy for kidney, bladder, and edema is to make at least two quarts of a strong parsley tea and drink copiously. If the urine is suppressed, drink one half to one teacupful, hot, every hour.
\n
\nIt is best to avoid large amounts of parsley if you are pregnant, especially the use of the volatile essential oil.

\r\n \r\n Last year, about this time, I bought a Supermarket pot of living parsley. I broke it into several pieces and planted it out in the garden under cover for few weeks to protect from frost. I think you will probably be able to find it cheaper in the cheapo discount food stores LIDL/ALDI than from a garden center.
\n
\nYou get plenty of plants from a pot sold for culinary purposes. There is no need to be ripped off by garden centers selling overpriced plants for growing in the garden.
\n
\n Mine provided free parsley throughout the summer up till the winter frosts but it has survived the winter and I\'m cutting from the same plants at the moment.
\nIf I\'d been more organised I\'d have put some in the greenhouse for over winter but we had put plenty by in the freezer so more than a years supply for very little effort.
\n
\nParsley can be slow to germinate from seed and a pot of living parsley from the supermarket veggie section is much quicker and probably not far different in price from a packet of seeds.\r\n

\r\n \r\n I planted parsley seeds in 2 patio containers last Spring and enjoyed it all
\r\nSummer and Fall until freezes killed it. So far I haven\'t been able to find parsley
\r\nseeds yet this year, but am planning to plant some leaf lettuce today. I like
\r\nfresh or even dried parsley on eggs, potatoes and other veggies, and fresh
\r\nadded to salads. I used to drink parsley tea [dried parsley] as a diuretic.
\r\nWorks great and doesn\'t make urine smell like Asparagus does.\r\n
