Very well, we start with:
Celery (Apium graveolens L), belongs to the umbelliferae family such as parsley and fennel. It is native to southern Europe and was widely used in classical antiquity. Their ancestors were wild little fleshy plants and bitter. In its current form it is the result of the selection and cultivation carried out in the sixteenth century in Italy.
They contain essential oils, mainly limonene and furanocoumarin. It also contains a substance called
3-n-butylphthalide (3 NBP, or NBP for its acronym in English), which gives celery its characteristic aroma. Celery is rich in a natural substance called apigenin that helps to dilate blood vessels. Apigenin fights stress oxidative at the cellular level and acts as a natural anti-inflammatory.
It has many other benefits, apart from being a powerful antispasmodic, anti - inflammatory, hypotensive, diuretic, etc.
Because of its emenagogo effect (stimulates blood flow in the pelvis and uterus) it is advisable to avoid consuming celery in any of its forms during pregnancy.

L.) popularly known as mint or peppermint, is a species of the genus Mentha, an aromatic herb widely used in gastronomy and perfumery for its intense and fresh aroma. It is native to Europe , Africa and Asia, but it is used a lot in Mexico and other countries of America.
