2. Add parsley  : Add fresh or dried parsley to boiling water. If using fresh parsley, make sure it is well washed to remove any dirt or pesticides.
3. Simmer  : Reduce heat and simmer the mixture for about 5-10 minutes. The longer you simmer, the stronger the tea will be.

Consumption tips

Frequency  : Drink parsley tea once or twice a day to reduce swelling. It is best to drink it in the morning or early afternoon to prevent nighttime visits to the bathroom due to its diuretic effect.

Freshness  : Whenever possible, use fresh parsley to get the most health benefits. Dried parsley can be a convenient alternative, but make sure to check its freshness and quality.

Hydration  : Even though parsley tea has a diuretic effect, it is important to stay hydrated throughout the day by drinking plenty of water.

Precautions

Medical Conditions  : If you have kidney problems or are taking diuretics, be sure to consult your doctor before taking any new herbal remedies, including parsley tea.

Pregnancy  : Pregnant women should avoid consuming large amounts of parsley tea as it may disturb hormonal and water-electrolyte balance.

Drug interactions  : Parsley may interact with certain medications, including blood thinners and diuretics, so it is important to consult your doctor if you are taking any medications.

Application

Parsley tea is a natural and simple remedy to reduce swelling in the legs, ankles and feet. Its diuretic properties are effective in dealing with fluid retention. However, it is important to remember that although parsley tea can be beneficial, it should not replace medical treatment for underlying health problems. If you experience persistent or severe swelling, always seek medical advice. Stay healthy and enjoy the natural relief that parsley tea can provide.
