Apium graveolens
Umbelliferae
Apium graveolens, commonly known as Celery, is a flowering plant native to the Mediterranean region. While its crunchy stalks are a staple in modern diets, both the seeds and essential oils have long been used in traditional medicine systems for their carminative, diuretic, and digestive effects. Like other members of the Umbelliferae family (such as fennel and coriander), celery has an upward-growing, radiant flower structure, symbolically and energetically connected to upliftment, circulation, and clarity.
