Traditional Background

Parsley has been used for centuries in European herbalism as far more than a garnish. Traditionally it has been valued as a kidney and urinary tract tonic, a gentle digestive herb, and a rich green “blood purifier” thanks to its mineral and chlorophyll content. Folk medicine has long used parsley to support fluid balance, freshen the breath, and promote overall vitality.

Active Constituents

Chlorophyll & Minerals: Parsley is naturally rich in chlorophyll, iron, magnesium, potassium and vitamin C, supporting blood, circulation and general nourishment.

Volatile Oils (apiol, myristicin, etc.): These aromatic compounds are traditionally associated with parsley’s carminative (gas-relieving), diuretic and menstrual-supportive actions.

Flavonoids: Including apigenin and luteolin, which provide antioxidant support and help protect tissues from oxidative stress.

Folate and Vitamin K: Nutrients involved in normal blood health, homocysteine metabolism and bone support.
