Essential Oil – Parsley Seed

• A heavy, spicy-herbaceous, and deeply "root-like" aroma. It is less fresh than the herb and much more savory.
• It opens with a bitter, warm top note that feels slightly oily and peppery.
• The heart is intensely green but in a dark, shaded way—reminiscent of crushed stalks and wet earth.
• It has a musky, woody dry-down that is very persistent. It smells "solid"—like a dense, sun-baked garden bed.

• Managing Edema: One of the most effective oils for reducing water retention and "puffiness" in the ankles and legs.
• Lymphatic Drainage: Stimulates the lymphatic system to help the body process and eliminate metabolic waste and toxins.
• Cellulite Support: Frequently added to body contouring blends from clubarome.com to help smooth the appearance of dimpled skin.
• Kidney Tonic: Traditionally used to support kidney function and help "flush" the urinary system when massaged (diluted) over the lower back.

Circulatory & Vein Health

• Vasoconstrictor: Known for its ability to help shrink and tighten blood vessels, making it useful for treating hemorrhoids and thread veins (when used in very low dilutions).
• Speeding Bruise Recovery: Helps disperse trapped blood and increases localized circulation to clear up bruising more quickly.
• Regulating Menstruation: Acts as an emmenagogue to help stimulate or regulate a sluggish or suppressed menstrual cycle.

Advanced Skincare & Astringency

• Tightening Large Pores: Its strong astringent properties make it an excellent addition to facial toners for oily or sagging skin.
• Clearing the Complexion: Helps balance uneven skin tone and can assist in "brightening" a dull, tired face.
• Scalp Stimulation: Increases blood flow to the hair follicles, which is believed to encourage stronger hair growth and a healthier scalp.

Digestive & Physical Relief

• Expelling Gas: Acts as a carminative to relieve flatulence, bloating, and abdominal discomfort.
• Joint and Muscle Detox: Helps clear uric acid buildup in the joints, providing relief for those suffering from gout or rheumatism.

• Use with extreme care.
• Because of its high apiole content, it is a strong abortifacient and must be strictly avoided during pregnancy.
• It should also be avoided by those with inflammatory kidney conditions.
• Always use in low dilutions (0.5%–1%) to avoid liver overstimulation.
