Celery seed has a long history in both Western and Ayurvedic medicine as a diuretic and anti-rheumatic herb. Modern research confirms its phthalide compounds lower uric acid levels, making it valuable for gout management and prevention. It also reduces inflammation in arthritic conditions, supports kidney filtration, and has mild blood pressure-lowering effects through its diuretic action.
