In Europe, celery seeds are well known since the times of ancient Greece and Rome. Even during those times, the seeds were an indispensable ingredient in many recipes. Indian Ayurvedic physicians often used celery seeds for the purpose of removing excess fluids from the body. Celery seeds can be eaten dried or fresh. Not only do they serve as an excellent food seasoning, but they can also be brewed in tea, all of which have a very favorable effect on the human body.

Celery seeds contain amino acids, zinc, iron, and flavonoids that have great health benefits. Some of the most important benefits are as follows:

• Celery seeds contain a unique set of proteins, vitamins, minerals, and acids that provide stability in cells. They have anti-inflammatory properties as well as a diuretic substance.
• The presence of phthalides and polyacetylenes helps to neutralize carcinogens. Celery seeds also contain coumarins that have a beneficial effect on the blood. Celery seeds are rich in vitamin C, which has been shown to strengthen the immune system.
