10 Natural Diuretics
Diuretic #7: Parsley
Parsley is used worldwide as a garnish and also as an herb to add some flavor to dishes. It has also been used for its medicinal properties for as long as we can remember and is still found in some natural remedies today. For hundreds of years, at least, it has also been used as a natural diuretic.
In the past, parsley was often brewed up as a tea specifically for its diuretic properties. Studies in rats have also shown that it is effective at increasing urine production. More research needs to be undertaken, however, to confirm its effects on human beings.
