General Information:
Petroselinum sativum is a member of the Apiaceae family of plants. Relatives of this common culinary herb include the garden vegetables carrot, parsnip, and celery. Parsley is a biennial plant with a fleshy, spindle-shaped root, and a round, striated, erect, smooth, branching stem. The bright green leaves are feather-like in appearance, tri-pinnate, finely divided and borne on long, channeled petioles; the leaflets are rhomboidal-ovate, wedge-shaped at the base, deeply incised, the segments mucronate and sometimes rounded. Some varieties are flat-leafed, others are more compact and curlier. The upper leaves gradually become more entire and narrower, till the uppermost are simply ternate with linear segments. Diminutive five-petaled flowers are yellow-green and borne in dense, flat-topped clusters. They bloom in midsummer. The gray-brown seeds are tiny, ribbed and ovate. Parsley can grow as much as 3-4 feet high in its second year as the flower-bearing stems become nearly leafless and reach for the sun. The fruit is ovate, about a line long, corn pressed, pale greenish-brown, the back occupied by three elevated, pale primary ridges, the two others quite on the margin at the side.
The plant has a grateful aroma. The seeds, herb, and root, are the medicinal parts; the root has rather an agreeable odor, and a saccharine, slightly spicy taste, and should be used while fresh. The root and herb contain small quantities of a volatile oil; larger quantities are contained in the seeds.
How to use:
Decoctions are suitable for roots, barks, large seeds & berries, and other dense material. The simple way to make decoction is, in a saucepan, add 1 tablespoon of dried herbs to 1 cup of water. Bring the water to boil, reduce heat and simmer for 30-60 minutes. Strain and squeeze out as much as liquid as possible and enjoy!
Tips:
- You can sweeten your herbal decoctions with a bit of honey, natural fruit juice, stevia leaves powder and or licorice root powder.
Precautions:
You should consult with a qualified healthcare practitioner before using any herbal products, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing, or on any medications.
