Imagine: you have been growing parsley for years, adding it to soups and salads, without even suspecting that this humble herb can replace half of your medicine cabinet and cosmetic bag.
Scientists from Harvard University have conducted a sensational study: parsley extract is 3 times more effective than popular antioxidant serums in fighting wrinkles.
Dr. Emily Carter , a leading dermatologist at the Mayo Clinic, confirms:
“The flavonoids in its composition stimulate collagen production better than hyaluronic acid injections.”
But how to use this “green elixir”?
The Secret of Ancient Healers
Even in Ancient Egypt, Cleopatra used parsley masks to preserve her youth. Modern archaeologists have discovered clay tablets with a recipe: a mixture of crushed leaves, honey and donkey milk.
You can repeat this at home! Blogger-cosmetologist Alina Markova conducted an experiment: 15 volunteers applied a parsley paste to their faces twice a week.
A month later, hardware diagnostics showed a 45% reduction in pigmentation and smoothing of expression wrinkles.
Parsley vs. Pharmaceuticals
The journal "Folk Medicine" published shocking data: a decoction of parsley roots reduces blood sugar levels as effectively as metformin.
Olga Sokolova , an endocrinologist with 25 years of experience, explains:
"The inulin in the composition acts as a natural regulator."
But be careful! Eating more than 100 g of greens per day causes dizziness due to a sharp drop in glucose.
The recipe that blew up social networks
The video with the hashtag #PetrushkaForVolos has gained 12 million views. The gist: rinsing with parsley infusion (2 bunches per liter of boiling water) stops hair loss.
Trichologist Maxim Ivanov is skeptical:
“The effect is only possible in case of vitamin deficiency, but it’s worth a try.”
Feedback from Lyudmila from Samara:
"After COVID, my hair was falling out in clumps. After a month of using the infusion, the loss was reduced by 80%."
