Celery may be used as an analgesic agent in treating chronic musculoskeletal pain.
A recent study suggested that celery used conjunction with other herbs, such as Urtica dioica (stinging nettle), Boswellia serrata, Equisetum arvense, and Apium graveolens expressed the pain relief which impacts the motion and mobility at each location with pain. in patients of persistent musculoskeletal pain for at least 4 months.


Dr. Hedaya R. the author in the study said, " (the five herbs and vitamin B1)(showed a) a clinically significant reduction in perceived pain and improvement in functional mobility.... for the intervention group as related to their chronic joint, back, and muscle pain".

Celery is a species of Apium graveolens, belonging to the family Apiaceae, cultivated all around the globe as a vegetable. Celery can grow to 1/2 m tall with stalks (leaf on the top) arranging in a conical shape joined at a common base.

Celery Seed Extract (CSE), in comparison to conventional medicine, aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen in suppressing pain in arthritis exerted more efficient results in ameliorated existing inflammation and exhibited analgesic effect in test animals.

The study also suggested that in analgesic effects, the extract does affect the p450 enzyme systems
in metabolism as well as altering the metabolism of drugs that the individual may be taking.

In Ulcers induced by indomethacin, cyto-destructive agents (80% ethanol, 0.2 M NaOH and 25% NaCl) and cold restraint stress, celery extract expressed its antioxidant property in the protection of the decrease levels of gastric wall mucus(GWM) and suppressed the basal gastric secretion with no toxic symptoms.
