How and why does parsley root decoction help?

Parsley, including its leaves and roots, has been used in traditional medicine for over 2000 years. You probably know this herb well and may even drink it as tea for low iron levels, high sugar levels, or to support kidney function.

Many sprinkle it on almost every dish and add it to green smoothies (it has a diuretic effect and supports digestion). The leaves contain a huge amount of vitamin C, vitamins A, B2, K, iron, calcium, and magnesium. It's a wonderful strengthening and regenerating ingredient in the kitchen.

Parsley root is usually used in soups and broths. Few know that parsley root decoction is also a remedy for digestive issues.

Parsley stimulates the secretion of gastric acid. You can use it to help with low acidity. For increased acidity, it's better to use other infusions.

Parsley root also supports liver function, as it has a cholagogue effect, helping to digest fats (which are abundant in festive dishes).

The parsley drink also acts as a diuretic, supporting the work of the kidneys and pancreas.

The parsley drink for better digestion will help with:

• bloating
• gas
• heaviness in the stomach from overeating
• feelings of heaviness and fullness in the stomach
• chronic stomach disorder
