Celery is a strongly alkaline food that helps to counteract acidosis, purify the bloodstream, aid in digestion, prevent migraines, relax the nerves, reduce blood pressure, and clear up skin problems. Celery contains compounds called coumarins which are known to enhance the activity of certain white blood cells and support the vascular system. Celery�s rich organic sodium content has the ability to dislodge calcium deposits from the joints and holds them in solution until they can be eliminated safely from the kidneys. Celery is a well known natural diuretic and has ample ability to flush toxins out of the body. Celery also has significant anti-inflammatory properties making it an essential food for those who suffer from auto-immune illnesses. It also contains significant amounts of calcium and silicon which can aid in the repair of damaged ligaments and bones. Celery is rich in vitamin A, magnesium, and iron which all help to nourish the blood and aid those suffering from rheumatism, high blood pressure, arthritis, and anemia. Fresh celery juice is one of the most powerful and healing juices one can drink. Just 16 oz of fresh celery juice a day can transform your health and digestion in as little as one week.

    I love reading your info and will try to use celery more now. So far I've only put it in soups. I remember years ago a farmer saying if you knew how good celery was for you, you'd keep it in you back pocket. :o)

    I consume celery daily and have been for lots of years. I have grown it, but the slugs were just awful.

    I use celery very often, if I want to plant, the quick way is to buy celery with the roots at the oriental market, you can also root regular celery cutting the bottom and root it in water or soil.

    I make the best celery salad, I use the whole bunch of celery thinly sliced, green peppers, thinly sliced onions, meyer lemon sections, parsley and cilantro. With or without feta and egg.

    Started adding celery to my morning smoothies and dinner stir fried dishes. Noticed the difference in my joints already.
    Starting growing the bottoms already for a continuous supply.

    Put some celery in a container with some water. Started sprouting in a couple of days.
