There are many kinds of celery, which can be roughly divided into local celery, western celery, mountain celery and wild celery. Among them, this celery is divided into "Oenanthe javanica" and "Eclipta prostrata", both of which are health food. Cress is mainly produced in the south, while celery is mainly produced in the north. Because of the different growth environment of the two kinds of celery, the therapeutic effect is slightly different. If you can eat them purposefully, you can get twice the result with half the effort.

Oenanthe javanica contains a variety of amino acids, volatile oil, cress and so on. Oenanthe javanica decoction has a certain protective effect on liver cells, and people with hepatitis and liver insufficiency should eat it regularly. Oenanthe javanica also contains ingredients that inhibit and kill mycobacterium tuberculosis, which can improve the immunity and disease resistance of the body and gradually reduce or disappear mycobacterium tuberculosis, so patients with tuberculosis can eat more Oenanthe javanica.

Celery contains organic acids, apigenin, apigenin and volatile oil, from which apigenin A and apigenin B can be separated. Apigenin or fresh celery juice has obvious hypotensive and hypolipidemic effects, while apigenin A and apigenin B have sedative effects. Apigenin in celery can also inhibit the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle and prevent arteriosclerosis. In addition, apigenin can inhibit the growth of prostate cancer, breast cancer, thyroid cancer and other cancer cells, induce apoptosis and inhibit tumor angiogenesis. Therefore, celery is especially suitable for patients with hyperlipidemia, hypertension, arteriosclerosis and tumor.
