Reducing High Blood Pressure


Do you know Chinese Celery can reduce high blood pressure. Amazing!

While all celery is good for the health, being rich in iron, potassium, and vitamins A, B1, B2, C, and D, Chinese celery is said to have a number of medicinal benefits. Warm Chinese celery juice is traditionally used to cure jaundice and low fever. It is a diuretic and may be used to promote healthy urination, as well as to replace electrolytes when a person is dehydrated. Chinese celery has also been used to treat such various conditions as high blood pressure, rheumatism, digestive problems, and scurvy.

When purchasing Chinese celery, look for crisp stems and fresh, vibrant leaves. Do not choose celery with any yellowing or wilted portions. Before cooking, wash the celery and remove the tough outer strings. It can be stored in the refrigerator in a well-sealed plastic bag for weeks.

Simple Preparation:
1. Wash chinese celery with water. Cut away the stem.
2. Boil water with about one handful of chinese celery.
3. No adding sugar or salt! Just drink it plain.
