Parsley remedy for gas

Either curly leaf or flat leaf parsley will work as a digestive tonic. Do not confuse parsley with parsley root, a plant that has similar leaves but is grown for its parsnip-like root.

  • Eat raw parsley leaves after a meal
  • Parsley leaves can also be blended to make a juice for a more powerful laxative effect. Do not consume more than 2 oz at a time.
