What is the secret of the healing properties of celery?

As a wild plant, celery grows in coastal areas and in wetlands and swamps throughout Europe. Garden celery is a very valuable and medicinal plant. Celery has long been valued, not only as an aphrodisiac. It is rich in many medicinal substances. It contains all B vitamins in a balanced concentration. The entire B-complex stimulates the exchange of carbohydrates, proteins and fats in the body, brings energy to our cells, and thus to the whole organism. It is also the basic food for our nerves and brain. Celery also contains vitamin C complexes, minerals calcium, potassium, sodium, the alkaloid apiin, asparagine, choline, and essential oils - terpenes. It is to them that celery thanks its aroma and taste. Celery essential oils are sharp and have a long antibacterial and antifungal effect (against fungi) in our mouths, throats, stomachs and intestines. Celery is considered an "internal cleanser of the body" because it enhances the secretion and metabolism of the body.
