If you often suffer from swollen feet, ankles, or heavy legs, especially after standing or sitting for long periods, your body might be retaining excess fluid. While many turn to pills or compression socks, nature has a gentler, incredibly effective solution: parsley tea.

Yes — that humble herb sitting in your kitchen can act as a powerful natural diuretic, helping the body eliminate trapped water, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation. Once you try this tea, you may never look at parsley the same way again!

🌿 Why Parsley Works for Swelling
Parsley is rich in:

Flavonoids – natural anti-inflammatories
Potassium and magnesium – help balance fluids
Vitamin C – strengthens capillaries and supports circulation
Apigenin – boosts kidney function and acts as a mild diuretic
Together, these compounds help the body release excess fluid, reduce pressure in the lower limbs, and relieve discomfort from water retention, poor circulation, or lymphatic stagnation.
