Celery seed has been used in Chinese medicine to lower blood pressure for millennia. The vegetable itself is a sinewy vegetable that acts as a diuretic and flushes out excess water from the body and heart, with many healthful consequences. Although more research is needed, the compound called 3-N-butylphthalide is responsible not only for the characteristic odor of celery but also for its anti-hypertensive effects. Phthalides help improve blood flow and unwind the muscles in and around blood vessel walls.
