Celery is counted among the many commonly used herbs, plants, and foods considered “kitchen medicine.” It contains calcium, potassium, and other nutrients. Dr. Jonathan Liu, a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) professor at a Canadian public college, provides insight into consuming celery more healthily and identifies four types of people who should avoid it.

Celery boasts vitamin C, beta-carotene, folic acid, dietary fiber, potassium, magnesium, iron, and other essential nutrients. In addition, the presence of apigenin, a unique compound in celery, aids in eliminating harmful free radicals in the body and reducing inflammation.
