Health Benefit #8: Help to Fight Infections Including UTIs
Celery seeds have been used for centuries to treat various health conditions including UTIs and other infections. Recent studies have established that, in fact, celery seeds have significant medicinal properties. A 2009 research study found that celery seeds contain powerful antimicrobial compounds that inhibit survival or growth of various microbes, including harmful bacteria.
During the research, celery seed extract was mixed with a medium containing known infection-causing bacteria.
