Apium graveolens, celery, is a wonderful healing herb. The seed is prized over the stalk in healing remedies, but the less potent stalk can be an important part of a healing regimen, especially for anyone prone to making kidney stones. Used to help fight issues like arthritis and gout, celery helps keep the body clean and healthy.

Associated with Mercury, celery make a great wash, tea, or salad for anyone looking to improve business or communicate more clearly.

Pregnant women and anyone with a kidney infection should consult an expert qualified in the use of this herb before eating more than a normal food amount.
