Celery The use of celery seed in pills for relieving pain was described by Aulus Cornelius Celsus around 30 AD.[13] Celery seeds contain a compound, 3-N-butyl-phthalide, that has been demonstrated to lower blood pressure in rats. Androsterone (ADT) is a steroid hormone with weak androgenic activity. It has been shown to naturally occur in pine pollen. Celery actually contains androstenone. Both substances are weak male steroids like testerone. Bergapten (5-methoxypsoralen) - a psoralen (also known as furocoumarins) in the seeds - can increase photosensitivity, celery in bright sunshine should be avoided. Bergapten occurs also in other members of the Parsley family, citrus oils, & grapefruit juice.
