Celery has been widely used as both a food and a medication since the Middle Ages. The ancient Greeks used celery to make a wine called selenites, which was served as an award at athletic games. Celery is high in minerals – hence its advantage as a herbal diuretic. Pharmaceutical diuretics tend to cause a loss of minerals along with water. However herbal diuretics such as celery and parsley are often high in minerals which counter-acts the potential depletion of potassium and other minerals.

Mechanism of Action
Today, Celery Seed is used therapeutically due to the presence of constituents in the volatile oil component of the seed. Celery is traditionally used in European herbal medicine to relieve painful joints. Evidence shows that celery seed reduces the number of painful joints as well as the severity of pain. Celery Seed can also ease joint discomfort that occurs due to inflammation. One of its main uses is in osteoarthritis. A small trial of patients with chronic arthritis found that treatment with Celery Seed extract significantly reduced pain symptoms after 3 weeks (Bone 2003). Celery is also often used in combination with other herbs to assist with urinary tract health due to its diuretic effect.
