Parsley: The Natural Diuretic

Parsley is an excellent, naturally well balanced herb. It's a natural diuretic, which means it stimulates the kidneys to release more urine from the body. Unlike synthetic diuretics, parsley is naturally high in potassium too, so there is no risk of potassium depletion like what's found in man made diuretics.

Parsley is quite high in chlorophyll and many vitamins and minerals, such as calcium, vitamin c, vitamin a, and iron. This makes it an excellent choice for use as an all around herbal daily vitamin supplement.

Parsley is actually higher in vitamin c than most citrus fruits. In fact, parsley contains as much as three times more vitamin c than citrus does, and this makes it an excellent herb to take at the onset of a cold.

Since parsley is a natural diuretic, it's used a lot to treat various kidney and bladder problems. The herb stimulates the body to produce and eliminate more urine, and by increasing the flow of urine the body is able to flush out bacteria, germs, infections, and other problems common to the kidneys and bladder.
