Ingredients

• 15 grams of fresh chopped parsley (or 2 teaspoons dried)
• 500 ml of filtered water
• Juice of ½ a lemon or 1 teaspoon of honey (optional)

Instructions

1. Bring the water to a gentle boil.
2. Add parsley and let it simmer for 5 to 10 minutes.
3. Strain the tea into a cup.
4. Stir in lemon juice or honey if desired.
5. Enjoy warm for relaxation or chilled for a refreshing summer sip.

When and How to Drink It

To feel the benefits:

• Start with 1 to 2 cups per day, ideally in the morning or early afternoon.
• Avoid late-night sipping to prevent nighttime bathroom trips, due to its diuretic properties.
• Try it consistently over several days to notice a reduction in heaviness and swelling.

A Few Precautions

While parsley tea is gentle, here’s what to keep in mind:

• Not suitable during pregnancy, unless cleared by a doctor.
• If you’re taking diuretics, blood thinners, or have kidney conditions, consult a healthcare provider first.
• Stick to the recommended amount—regular, modest use is more effective (and safer) than overdoing it.
