Whole food(herbal medicine) used as medical treatment,  linking health benefits in prevention, management and treatment of diseases has induced much interests in today renowned scientists.
But many researchers have raised question of herbal quality, because geographic differences, time of grown and harvest, etc. may effect their's potency. I do believe, these questions can only be answered by experience herbalists.

Celery may be used as analgesic agent in treating chronic musculoskeletal pain.

Recent study suggested that celery used conjunction with other herbs, such as Urtica dioica (stinging nettle), Boswellia serrata, Equisetum arvense, and Apium graveolens expressed the pain relief which impacts the motion and mobility at each location with pain. in patient of persistent musculoskeletal pain for at least 4 months.

Dr. Hedaya R. the author in the study said, " (the five herbs and vitamin B1)(showed a) clinically significant reduction in perceived pain and improvement in functional mobility.... for the intervention group as related to their chronic joint, back, and muscle pain".

Celery is a species of Apium graveolens, belonging to the family Apiaceae, cultivated all around the globe as a vegetable. Celery can grow to 1/2 m tall with stalks (leaf on the top) arranging in a conical shape joined at a common base.

Celery Seed Extract (CSE), in comparison to conventional medicine, aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen in suppressing pain in arthritis exerted more efficient result in ameliorated existing inflammation and exhibited analgesic effect in test animals.

The study also suggested that in analgesic effects, the extract does affect the p450 enzyme systems
in metabolism as well as altering the metabolism of drugs which the individual may be taking.

In Ulcers induced by indomethacin, cytodestructive agents (80% ethanol, 0.2 M NaOH and 25% NaCl) and cold restraint stress, celery extract expressed its antioxidant property in protection of the decrease levels of gastric wall mucus(GWM) and suppressed the basal gastric secretion with no toxic symptoms.

Taking together,  there is no doubt that celery processed an analgesic effect in reduced pain causes by induction of proinflammatory cytokins through its antioxidant activities. In take of herbal product, instead of whole food celery should be taken with care.
