Clear up urinary tract infections with parsley
Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go right now?
This week I found a very friendly message in my e-mail inbox. It was sent by an HSI member named Carroll who has a tip for anyone coping with an overactive bladder.
Carroll writes: “I would like to share some info I have personally discovered. Those many trips to the bathroom have been eliminated for me by parsley. I make a tea by rinsing a bunch (about 1” across) and removing the bulk of the stems, boiling for a while and straining, leaving about 2 quarts of tea, which I drink.
“The boiled parsley is compressed to remove the liquid, diced somewhat, placed on some whole wheat bread with a sprinkle of salt. I tried the tea only and found great improvement in urine flow and not needing to make those night time trips to the bathroom. But found much better results when I started eating the boiled parsley.
“This will clear up urinary tract infections better than antibiotics at least for me. How nice to sleep thru the night.”
And how nice to forgo an unnecessary round of antibiotics.
