Natural Hypotensive Agent – Celery
Natural hypotensive agent – celery
Celery is definitely a summer delicacy, as it has a cool nature, lowering blood pressure and cholesterol, and clearing internal heat.
There are two types of celery: Tang celery (Chinese celery) and Western celery. If you prefer strong flavors, choose Tang celery—it pairs well with meat slices, offering intense taste, and makes powerful juice, though not everyone can tolerate it. However, if seeking therapeutic effects, Tang celery is essential due to its stronger medicinal properties.
Celery dietary remedies:
Tang celery with red dates soup: lowers blood pressure and cholesterol.
Tang celery with root of madder: combine 5 fen (15g) madder root with motherwort and red dates—a proven remedy for menstrual pain and irregular periods, especially suitable for those with internal heat. (Note: Best consumed regularly; avoid during menstruation, as it may increase menstrual flow.)
Five-green juice: blend Western celery, bitter melon, green cucumber, green pepper, and green apple. The refreshing juice clears heat toxins, treats acne, bitter mouth, bad breath, constipation, and excessive eye discharge caused by liver heat. Regular consumption may help prevent colon cancer—plausible indeed.
