Celery Seed ExtractOther uses that the extract has been associated with in alternative medicine include rheumatism, arthritis, and gout. From anti aging perspective, it is worth noticing that the extract contains eight different families of anti-cancer compounds, such as phthalides and polyacetylenes. In traditional Vietnamese folk medicine, the extract has been a remedy for high blood pressure. In one University of Chicago lab study with animals, a 12 percent reduction was achieved in the animals blood pressure over a four-week period with celery seed extract supplementation. The same study indicated the extract may reduce artery-clogging cholesterol.
