Both parsley leaf and root can be used in teas as a diuretic to rid the body of excess water. This may explain its folklore reputation for helping
gout and
rheumatism.Parsley does inhibit the histamines that trigger allergies so may help treat sinus infection and congestion.
51 Parsley is also an
emmenagogue, meaning it can help to bring on delayed menses, so don't use it in concentrated doses while pregnant.

Herbal Remedies using : Parsley Preparation Methods & Dosage :Tea, tincture, fresh or dried herb. One of the best ways to get the medicinal "good" out of parsley is to juice the fresh leaves, but this takes a whole lot of parsley to get just a small amount of intensely, green, herbaceous liquid. Throw some bunches of parsley in when you juice carrots and apples instead of trying to juice it alone. Tea made from fresh parsley is another good way to use the whole herb. If you would like sweet breath after dinner, simply chew a fresh sprig of parsley, often handily served as a plate garnish in restaurants. Basil, dill and cilantro also contain chlorophyll, which acts as a breath freshener. Parsley leaves can be crushed and applied repeatedly to a bruise. This remedy may help speed the disappearance of black-and-blue marks.
