Parsley, scientifically known as Petroselinum crispum, is a biennial flowering plant of the Apiaceae family, native to the central Mediterranean. This plant grows up to 70 cm in height and is widely cultivated as an herb, spice, and vegetable.

Its healing value has been known since antiquity. Greek and Roman physicians used it for kidney and bladder disorders. The essential oil of the plant has been used since the 16th century for the same purposes.

According to an article by Yarnell in 2002, a series of animal studies confirmed that parsley improves the function of the urinary system. Herbs should be treated as medicines. We recommend that you always consult your doctor before taking them.
