Introduction
Swollen legs, ankles, and feet are often more than just a discomfort—they can be signs of fluid retention, poor circulation, or an underlying health issue. While medical attention is crucial for persistent symptoms, many people are turning to natural remedies for daily relief. One such powerful home remedy is parsley tea, a time-tested herbal infusion known for its diuretic and anti-inflammatory properties. Let’s explore how to make this simple yet effective drink to help ease swelling naturally.
Ingredients
1/4 cup fresh parsley (flat-leaf or curly), finely chopped
2 cups filtered water
Optional: 1 tsp lemon juice or raw honey (for flavor)
Directions
Bring the water to a gentle boil in a saucepan.
Once boiling, remove from heat and add the chopped parsley.
Cover and let it steep for 10 to 15 minutes.
Strain the tea using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth.
Add lemon juice or honey if desired.
Serve warm or let cool and refrigerate for later.
Serving and Storage Tips
Serving: Drink 1 to 2 cups per day, preferably in the morning or early afternoon to avoid nighttime trips to the bathroom.

Variations
Ginger Parsley Tea: Add a few slices of fresh ginger for additional anti-inflammatory benefits.
Minty Fresh Twist: Toss in a few fresh mint leaves during steeping for a refreshing flavor.
