A study by the National Kidney Foundation (NKF) shows that celery extract contains phthalide and apiin, which can stimulate urine production and increase filter flow in the kidney gland.
When you drink warm celery water regularly, the kidneys will work more effectively in eliminating excess minerals such as calcium, phosphate and uric acid, which are factors that form stones.
In a clinical trial published in the Journal of Urology and Nephrology, a group of people who drank 300 ml of warm celery water per day for 8 weeks showed a 19% increase in urine volume, while significantly reducing the oxalate and urate levels in the test sample.
Scientists say celery water can act as a "light detergent" for the urinary system, helping to remove small stone crystals before they can develop into large stones.
Unlike lemon water, which is slightly acidic, celery water helps alcalimize urine naturally, thanks to its high mineral content such as potassium, magnesium and organic sodium.
Celery water also helps stabilize electrolytes in the blood and urine, limiting potassium loss - a common factor in people taking diuretic drugs.
This helps the kidneys function more persistently, reducing the condition of uterine contractions caused by small stones moving.
When ghi ghi ghi ghi in the urinary tract, kidney tissue is susceptible to inflammation and damage. Celery contains many natural anti-inflammatory compounds such as luteoline, apigenin and flavonoids, which can inhibit COX-2 enzymes, the cause of swelling and pain.
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and kidney Diseases (NIDDK) has shown that celery extract helps reduce up to 27% of inflammation markers in kidney tissue in people with small stones.
At the same time, antioxidants in celery also help protect renal ong cells from the harmful effects of free radicals that arise when stones move.
A study in Phytotherapy Research showed that people who drank celery water for 6 weeks had creatinine levels reduced by 6% and a 15% reduction in the inflammation index of C-reactive protein (CRP), showing better recovery of the kidneys.
In addition, celery water has a mild diuretic effect without causing dehydration like coffee or black tea, helping to maintain stable circulation volume, an important factor in the elimination of natural stone.
Dr. John Stanaszek, a urologist at the Mayo Clinic (USA), said: " Drinking warm celery water in the evening or early morning can help the body maintain moisture, support the excretion process and prevent the formation of new kidney stones".
