Parsley is not only a popular herb in cuisine but is also known as a herb that supports health, especially in detoxifying the kidneys.
Parsley extract has a clear diuretic effect, helping to increase urine excretion, thereby helping the kidneys remove toxins and reduce the risk of kidney stones.
The main mechanism of use of parsley is its high content of flavonoids (such as apigenin), vitamin C, and natural essential oils such as apiol and myristicin. These compounds have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant properties and help the kidneys filter blood more effectively. Flavonoids help prevent free radical cell damage one of the causes of impaired kidney function.
Celery is also known to have the potential to support people with mild kidney disease or those who need to be detoxified periodically.
To detoxify the kidneys, people often boil fresh parsley leaves with water. Take about a handful of boiled leaves with 500 ml of water, let cool and drink during the day as a detox tea.
However, it is important to note that you should not overdoze or take it for more than 7 consecutive days, especially for people with a history of oxalate stones or pregnant women.
Parsley can be a vegetable used as a natural method to effectively support kidney detoxification thanks to its diuretic and antioxidant effects.
However, the use needs to be controlled and it is best to consult a doctor if you have kidney disease.
