Parsley
Leaves energetic allows one to let go of distrust thought forms. If you want to
begin to trust others and life again, wear Parsley Oil daily as a perfume and
remind yourself that others may let you down, but you are there for you.
Parsley grows wild over a wide area of Western Asia and southern Europe, prompting the comment, "It is hard to define exactly where this plant is wild and where it only recently established itself. Fifteen desiccated Mericarps were found in the Pre-Pottery Neolithic B level of the Nahal Hemar Cave in Israel, which may be the oldest archaeological find of Parsley. About half a liter (a pint) of Parsley mericarps was recovered from the tomb of Tutankhamen, and because this plant does not grow wild in Egypt, Zohary and Hopf interpret this find as proof that coriander was cultivated by the Ancient Egyptians.

Organ Specific Effects
·
Adverse skin reaction: Undiluted parsley leaf oil was severely
irritating to rabbits, but was not irritating to mice or pigs; tested at 2% on
25 volunteers it was neither irritating nor sensitizing. It is non-phototoxic.
Parsley leaf oil typically contains 20 ppm bergapten. This is not sufficient to
cause a phototoxic reaction, although it may contribute to the total psoralen
content of a mixture.
·
Reproductive toxicity: Parsley is a commonly used abortifacient in
South America. Apiole and various preparations of parsley have been used for
many years to procure illegal abortion in Italy. Post-abortive vaginal
bleeding, sometimes profuse, is a feature of these cases.
