Indigestion

Hungarians have long used celery to calm indigestion and Germanys Commission E, a government agency that evaluates the safety and efficacy of medicinal herbs, has approved its use for dyspepsia. It contains two dozen painkillers, more than two dozen antiinflammatories, 11 antiulcer compounds and more than two dozen sedatives to complement the activities of its three carminative compounds (carminatives are herbs or preparations that prevent or facilitate expulsion of gas).
