Diuretic Food #9: Parsley
Parsley is perhaps most commonly used as a garnish, placed on top of, or besides, a meal to help enhance its appearance. It is also used as an ingredient in dishes, however, and it has a mild bitter flavor that is sometimes useful in helping to provide a balance to savory dishes.
Parsley has been used at least since the time of the ancient Romans in much the same way that we use it today. It can also be used as diuretic as it has properties that help to encourage urination. It is sometimes used as a remedy for water retention in women that are undergoing menstruation.
