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.

Intake of celery or supplement showed to reduce progression and treatment of gastric ulcer.

According to the King Saud University, celery [Apium graveolens L. (Apiaceae/Umbelliferae)], celery supplement at doses of 250 and 500 mg/kg body weight, enhanced the protection of gastric wall mucus (GWM),  in increased stomach protection against the models used for ulcerogenesis.

Dr. Powanda MC, the lead researcher said, " Acute toxicity test revealed no deleterious or toxic symptoms or mortality over a period of 14 days. .....and (showed) a large margin of safety and "The results suggest that Apium graveolens extract significantly protects the gastric mucosa and suppresses the basal gastric secretion in rats, possibly through its antioxidant potential".

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

In support of the above analysis, celery Seed Extract (CSE), also showed to protect against and/or reduce gastric irritation caused by NSAIDs, as well as act synergistically with them to reduce inflammation without induced medication interaction of enzyme systems.

Furthermore, the methanolic extract and  aqueous extracts used at 300 mg kg(-1) dose, exhibited a highly significant inhibition of gastric lesions in comparison the conventional omeprazole, in dose-dependent for both aerial part of celery.

Taking altogether, intake of celery is associated to meliorate the progression and treatment of gastric ulcer, but oral of celery supplement should be taken with care.
