Parsley is a highly alkalising herb with antioxidants and minerals that help to cleanse the kidneys and aid digestion

Folklore

The people of old England had their own set of parables and folklore surrounding Parsley with different regions of England adopting their own versions of its history and folklore.  


In Devon, it was believed that anyone who transplanted Parsley would offend the ‘Guardian Genius’ who presides over the highly valued Parsley beds and that they would be punished within a year.  


In Suffolk, it was thought that sowing Parsley seeds on Good Friday would ensure the herb coming up double

Nutrition

Parsley is a phenominal herb because of its ability to alkalise each of our body systems. It helps to balance acidity and alkalinity which is important because if our body becomes too acidic, disease can occur.


Mineral salts give Parsley its alkalising power as specialised mineral salts bind onto unproductive acids in the body to drive them out. This alkalising skill makes Parsley helpful for preventing and battling every type of cancer. 


Parsley is full of nutrition with B vitamins such as folic acid, traces of B12 co-enzymes and vitamins A, C and K. It is also a highly remineralising herb providing magnesium, sulfur, iron, zinc, manganese, molybdenum, chromium, selenium, iodine, and calcium.

Remedies

Prepare Parsley with Celery in a juicer to combine mineral salts that work in tandem to bind onto harmful acids such as lactic acid and drive them out of the body. Celery’s salts bind onto other sorts of toxins so its a great combination for inner cleansing first thing in the morning.


Make Parsley Tea using the herb fresh or dried (though preferably fresh). The infusion process is a great way to extract the maximum amount of trace minerals and phytochemicals hidden deep within Parsley, so that your body can absorb the nutrients.


Use fresh and organic flat-leaf Parsley as much as possible for maximum benefits and get into the habit of adding Parsley to your food (hot and cold). You can add freshly chopped Parley to soups, salads and sandwiches or blend into a green smoothie.
