The main ingredient of the juice is parsley. It is one of the strongest juices and should never be suddenly taken in quantities larger than 30 to 60 grams, even if it is mixed with a large quantity of vegetable juices from carrot, celery, spinach or lettuce salad. The share of parsley juice should never be too high relative to the amount of other juices. The properties of raw parsley juice are very important for the normal functioning of the adrenal glands, and for the exchange of oxygen in the body and the thyroid.
Parsley is a great food for urogenital organs. It is of excellent help as a cure for kidney stones and bladder, inflammation of the kidney, albuminuria (excretion of protein in the urine), and other kidney diseases. It is also used in the treatment of dropsy, against the pain associated with skin and eye nerves, weak eyes, cataract, cornea, conjunctivitis, keratitis, inflammation of the eyes at all stages and dilated pupils. When mixed with beetroot, carrots and cucumbers juice, it has a great success for period cramps.
Always choose fresh parsley instead of dry. But if you need dry parsley, buy the one that is grown organically. Also, choose the parsley leaves with dark-green color and avoid branches with a yellowish color or that are withered – those are old or damaged. You can store parsley in the refrigerator in a plastic bag. If it has wilted, spray it with some water before placing it in the refrigerator.
