Research Notes
ParsleyWestern
Apiol was historically used as an emmenagogue and antimalarial agent. It contributes to parsley's diuretic effect through renal vasodilation. High doses are toxic and can cause hepatorenal damage. At therapeutic doses found in parsley leaf tea, it contributes safely to the herb's overall diuretic and carminative profile.
