Parsley is a rich source of chlorophyll, which keeps your blood oxidized and cleanses your urinary tract. It is high in vitamin C and effective as a diuretic to keep your body's fluids in balance. Parsley stimulates digestive enzymes to relieve stomach upset and excessive gas, according to medicinal herbalist David Hoffman, Director of the California School of Herbal Studies. Juice parsley with other hard vegetables such as carrots, as parsley alone may get stuck in a juicer, recommends Ron Lagerquist, author of "Fasting To Freedom." Ask your doctor if parsley juice is appropriate for you.
Step 1
Gather 1 cup of fresh parsley, 2 medium carrots and 2 stalks of celery. Carrots are high in vitamin A, an antioxidant, and celery contains magnesium, iron and chlorophyll, according to Lagerquist.
Step 2
Wash all the vegetables and cut off their stems and ends. Chop or tear the parsley into small bunches, about 2 inches long. Chop the carrots and celery into pieces that fit into your juicer.
Step 3
Set up your juicer with the juice-catching cup and extracted pulp container in place. Plug in the juicer and turn it on.
Step 4
Combine bunches of parsley with other vegetable pieces as you feed them through the juicer. Use the juicer's plunger to push them down the chute into the blades.
Step 5
Remove the juice-catching cup when it is nearly full. Pour your juice into a glass for drinking or store it in a different container in the refrigerator.
Tips and Warnings
- Increase the amount of parsley in your juice mixture to get more of a green drink. Try mixing various vegetables and fruits with parsley. Consult your health care provider before making changes to your diet.
