The origin of parsley is the Middle East, where it was primarily used for detoxifying the body. Even in the Middle Ages, it was known that after a heavy, fatty, and wine-filled dinner, one should drink a cup of parsley tea to cleanse the body, boost the immune system, improve well-being, and health.
Parsley tea is good for all kidney-related problems, prevents salt absorption in tissues, protects the liver, guards against bladder infections, prevents colon cancer, and effectively cleanses the body. With parsley tea, you can lower bad cholesterol levels, help reduce high blood pressure, calm the intestines, improve digestion, and alleviate bloating. Since parsley is rich in iron, drinking the tea is recommended for anemia, and among its many beneficial properties, it also eliminates bad breath.
You can make parsley tea from fresh or dried parsley. First, boil water, remove it from heat, then add parsley. Let it steep for 5 to 10 minutes, then add a little lemon juice and a teaspoon of honey if desired.
