Description
Medicinal Usage
It is an herb that herbalists use medicinally. Wild celery has long been known as a remedy for the homely complaints of flatulence and rheumatism, and herbalists have also occasionally recommended wild celery root for jaundice, urinary blockage, dropsy, and hysteria. It is possibly a mild sedative as well. According to the 17th-century herbalist Nicholas Culpeper, the leaves when "eaten in the spring, sweeten and purify the blood and help the scurvy."
Pharmacologists confirm that celery seed is a carminative, eftective for the relief of gas pains, and their research suggests celery seed may also have a sedative action. Stalks of cultivated celery are eaten raw or cooked; leaves and seeds are used as flavoring for soups and stews. The seeds mixed with salt make celery salt. Celery seed oil is the flavoring agent in "celery tonic."
General Herb Information
The Latin name Apium may bederived from a prehistoric Indo-European word for water; if that is true, it is entirely appropriate in view of celery's long-observed preference for wet soils and salt marshes.
In the 17th century, Italian gardeners developed from the wild plant not only the familiar stalk celery (Apium graveolens var. dulce - an essential ingredient for soups, sauces, and stocks-but also celeriac (A. graveolens var. rapaceum), a plant much grown in Europe for its edible root. Introduced into the New World as a vegetable, celery has escaped from cultivation in some places and may be found growing wild.
Habitat: Wet and salty soils, swamps, marshes.
Range: Native to southern Europe, celery is cultivated in North America and has occasionally escaped from gardens.
Identification: A biennial herb, growing 1-2 feet tall. The green stems ("stalks") are ribbed and tough. Fleshy green leafstalks bear dark green, highly segmented leaves with toothed leaflets. (In cultivation, celery is blanched to produce the edible white stem.) Small whitish flowers (June-July) are borne in flat clusters, followed by smooth gray fruits (the "seeds").
