Guest guest Posted February 28, 2002 Report Share Posted February 28, 2002 Used to love Tabouleh and always made lots in the summer. However, now I am not supposed to have wheat so I cannot have it anymore (at present anyway...) > If you are liking parsley these days , try tabouli!!

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2002 Report Share Posted February 28, 2002 I've heard some ppl say they use quinoa... the cous cous part of it is such a small part... I'd just find something else to replace it with. I just love the way the parsley, tomatoes, lemon all that stuff, tastes together... I wouldn't give it up. My brother's kidneys failed, and parsley is good for the kidneys. I don't want to go the path my brother went. So, for me, every little thing I can do to help my kidneys, I will do it. This " little thing " is a treat though !!! lucky me!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2002 Report Share Posted February 28, 2002 I meant thanks Dianne!! Silly me, this is what happens when you try to do too many things at once, like having your lunch, continuing a work conversation with a colleague and replying to emails. sorry about the mix up.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Health Benefits of Parsley It's timely to give some thought to parsley, since it is one of the first herbs to appear in spring. And it has ancient associations with health and strength. In fact, the Romans believed that nibbling on parsley springs would enable them to drink more wine without becoming drunk! While that may not be true, parsley has many real benefits for our health. Raw parsley cleanses the blood, dissolves sticky deposits in veins, maintains elasticity of blood vessels, facilitates removal of moderately sized kidney and gallstones, treats deafness and ear infections, and benefits the sexual system. And chewing parsley prevents bad breath! How about that! Suzi Senior Moderator What is a weed?

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 I love Dr. s stories! Suzie, the recipe you included for raw tabouli (with cilantro, almonds and avocado) is now a big favorite with me. When I eat it I feel an immediate rush of energy and my skin tingles. Everyone I have made it for loves it! I started growing parsley about 3 yrs ago and it has taught me so much. In addition to improving my health, Butterflies love it and last year there were incredibly beautiful striped caterpillars from swallowtail butterflies eating the leaves. We had never seen them before. I grew a lot, so sharing wasn't a problem and I am hoping to see more this year. About a week ago I walked out at dusk and, for one night,there were june bugs mating on the parsley. They were hanging like shining droplets from the branches and I was priveleged to get another glimpse of nature that I will always remember. The plant itself is beautiful. It is a good companion plant for roses, readily reseeds itself each year and withstands our southwestern heat. Share the tabouli recipe and you'll make new friends who will want more from your garden. Who knew a simple plant would give so much?

Parsley is chiefly used for renal congestion, inflammation of the kidneys and bladder, gravel, stones, and urine retention. The root and leaves are excellent for the liver and spleen when jaundice and venereal diseases are present. It is also one of the best reliefs for edema, helping when other remedies have failed. Parsley root contains ingredients that help produce a pain relieving benefit to relax stiff joints. Many have used parsley root tea to make stiff and unmanageable fingers work again. The root contains calcium, B-complex vitamins, and iron all of which nourish the parathyroid glands which are concerned with the regulation of calcium in the body. Pour a quart of boiling water over a cup of firmly packed fresh parsley and allow to steep for 15 minutes. Strain and then refrigerate. Although parsley is a very reliable and old diuretic remedy it is very much ignored today. Parsley will work 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 nerves and the whole sympathetic nervous system. Parsley 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 is remarkable for its ability to expel watery poisons, excess mucoid matter, flatulence, reducing swollen and enlarged glands.
