Parsley Leaf

Parlsey is a biennial or perennial herb which is found in cultivation everywhere. A thin, white, spindle-shaped root produces the erect, grooved, glabrous, angular stem. The lower leaves are bi- or tri-ternately divided or incised, the upper three-cleft to entire. All are shiny and dark green. The white or greenish-yellow flowers appear in compound umbels from June to August. The seeds are ovate and grayish-brown.

Cautions - It is important to take the proper dosage, and parsley is not to be used at all if kidney inflammation exists. Parsley is safe to use in commonly recommended amounts for cooking and medicinal purposes. But take care not to consume very large amounts of the herb —and particularly the seeds—over long periods of time. The high concentration of essential oil in the seeds could irritate the stomach, kidneys, and other organs. No side effects or contraindications with normal use.
