Guest guest Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 Is that drops of tincture? Tea? Ground celery seeds? Gayla Always Enough RanchAcampo, Californiahttp://bouncinghoofs.com/alwaysenough.htmlBill Barnhill is our Inspiration! Go Bill!!!aeranch@... Celery Seed CELERY SEED Is a powerful diuretic (removes excess body fluid) for swollen conditions. The excess fluid exits through the urine and skin, and lungs and bowels. This eases the heart and lungs and kidneys, so they do not have to work in such a fluid cramped space. Not surprisingly, many joint and muscle problems clear up as Celery Seed takes out the irritating wastes, along with the water the body has been retaining, in an attempt to dilute the wastes to make them less harmful. DOSAGE: 40 drops to 1 teaspoonful three times per day. Suzi What is a weed?

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 Yes, However Celery seeds contain several substances including volatile oils, flavonoids (plant pigments with antioxidant effects that may protect cells from damage), coumarins (chemical compounds that help thin the blood), and linoleic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid). Available Forms Fresh or dried seeds Tablets Capsules filled with celery seed oil Celery seed extract How to Take It Pediatric There are no known scientific reports on the use of celery seed in children, so it is not recommended for children under 18. Adult Celery seed oil capsules or tablets: One to two capsules or tablets three times a day, as directed by your health care provider. Celery seed extract: 1/4 to 1/2 tsp three times a day, or as directed by your healthcare provider. (Always take with plenty of juice or with water at mealtime, unless instructed otherwise.) Whole celery seeds: Prepare a tea by pouring one cup boiling water over one teaspoon (1 - 3 g) of freshly crushed seeds. Steep for 10 - 20 minutes before straining and drinking. Drink three times a day. Precautions The use of herbs is a time-honored 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 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 this herb. 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. Possible Interactions 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 (water pills) -- Celery seed also has diuretic properties and could make the effects of these medications stronger, resulting in dehydration. If you take prescription diuretics, talk to your doctor before taking celery seed. Anticoagulants (blood-thinning medications) -- 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 prescription anticoagulants such as warfarin (Coumadin). Gayla <aeranch@...> wrote: Is that drops of tincture? Tea? Ground celery seeds?
