Parsley Overview
Parsley is a herb that is native to the Mediterranean region and is widely cultivated for its leaves, which are used as a spice in cooking. In traditional medicine, parsley is believed to have a number of health benefits and is often used as a natural diuretic, increasing urine production. This property may make parsley useful in the treatment of certain conditions, such as bloating and water retention. It is also commonly used for gastrointestinal problems.
Prednisone Overview
-
Prednisone is used alone or with other medications to treat the symptoms of low corticosteroid levels (lack of certain substances that are usually produced by the body and are needed for normal body functioning). Prednisone is also used to treat other conditions in patients with normal corticosteroid levels. These conditions include certain types of arthritis; severe allergic reactions; multiple sclerosis (a disease in which the nerves do not function properly); lupus (a disease in which the body attacks many of its own organs); and certain conditions that affect the lungs, skin, eyes, kidneys blood, thyroid, stomach, and intestines. Prednisone is also sometimes used to treat the symptoms of certain types of cancer. Prednisone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It works to treat patients with low levels of corticosteroids by replacing steroids that are normally produced naturally by the body. It works to treat other conditions by reducing swelling and redness and by changing the way the immune system works.
