📌 Description
Celery juice has become popular for its refreshing taste and potential health-supporting properties. While some people believe it helps “cleanse” the blood, skin, kidneys, liver, and pancreas, it’s important to remember that your body naturally detoxifies itself through organs like the liver and kidneys. Drinking fresh celery juice can, however, support hydration and provide vitamins and antioxidants as part of a balanced diet. Always consult a healthcare professional before using it for medical purposes.
