Celery |
 | | Apium has a direct action on the kidneys, increasing the elimination of water and speeding up the clearance of accumulated toxins from the joints and so is of benefit in any oedematous condition that accompanies arthritis. |
| | It is often administered with Taraxacum radix to increase the efficiency of elimination by both the kidneys and the liver. |
| | Apium is also hypoglycaemic, and as such is helpful in diabetes; this action seems to involve a direct action on the pancreas and its production of insulin. |
