Ingredient \/ Plant:<\/strong> Ajmod \/ Karafs \/ Celery
Scientific \/ Botanical Name:<\/strong> Apium graveolens<\/em> Linn.
Family:<\/strong> Apiaceae (Umbelliferae)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Description<\/h2>\n

The seeds possess alterative, anthelmintic, antibacterial, antiemetic, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antirheumatic, antiseptic, antispasmodic, aphrodisiac, appetising, aromatic, carminative, deobstruent, diaphoretic, diuretic, emmenagogue, galactagogue, hypotensive, lithotriptic, nervine tonic, sedative, stimulant, and stomachic properties. They are rich in iron and essential vitamins, including vitamins A, B, and C.<\/p>\n

Traditionally, the seeds are used to calm the nervous system, support digestion, and improve metabolism. Their antispasmodic action makes them useful in respiratory conditions such as bronchitis, asthma, cough, pleurisy, and tuberculosis. They also support liver and spleen function by cleansing these organs and softening accumulated deposits.<\/p>\n

The seeds are widely used in gall bladder and kidney stones, arthritis, rheumatism, rheumatoid arthritis (particularly when associated with mental depression), and gout. They help detoxify the body, improve blood circulation to muscles and joints, reduce excess acidity, and assist the kidneys in eliminating uric acid and metabolic waste. They are also beneficial in loss of appetite and halitosis.<\/p>\n

Celery seeds are traditionally used to restore sexual vitality and, when combined with other herbs, help regulate blood pressure. Their strong diuretic and antibacterial actions make them useful in cystitis and urinary tract infections. Additional traditional uses include support in insomnia, obesity, nervous disorders, and menstrual regulation. One of their active constituents is known to stimulate menstrual flow.<\/p>\n

    Dried seeds powder:<\/strong> 3\u20135 g daily<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    \n

    Contraindications & Precautions<\/h2>\n

    This herb should not<\/strong> be used during pregnancy, as it may stimulate uterine contractions and cause bleeding. Excessive intake may increase photosensitivity. Because it is a strong diuretic, caution is advised in kidney disorders, and adequate potassium intake should be maintained. Celery seed may enhance the effects of blood-thinning medications and should not be used with anticoagulants, antiplatelet drugs, or NSAIDs without medical supervision.<\/p>\n
