Parsley leaves are generally used in teas, while the root (sometimes eaten as a vegetable) and seed are made commercially into tinctures. The seed oil is used in aromatherapy as a diuretic and to help eliminate fluid from the tissues.

Parsley seeds reputedly had to visit the devil 13 times before germination, but if they were planted on Good Friday they were excused this chore and so would germinate much more quickly. The plant's development can certainly prove erratic when grown from seed and it is best to plant the seeds where they will grow permanently (they do not transplant well) and water them initially with boiling water.

Like nettles, parsley tends to "rob the soil", concentrating many minerals and vitamins in its leaves - it is rich in iron, calcium, potassium and magnesium, among others - so makes an excellent food for those suffering from anaemia and debility: one should always eat the parsley garnish rather than leaving such a nutritious plant on the plate!

Parsley leaf, too, is strongly diuretic and is often recommended for fluid retention associated with menstrual irregularities and also for bladder health concerns. It is a useful digestive support for colic, flatulence and indigestion and makes a good tonic in convalescence.

Parsley is a uterine tonic and can be helpful for premenstrual tension and menopause: the leaves were also traditionally made into a poultice and applied directly to the breasts to help dry up milk flow when breast feeding.

Chewing parsley leaves can help clear the smell of onions and garlic from the breath and parsley is sometimes included in over-the-counter garlic capsules as a deodorizer.
