Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Parsley (Petroselinum crispum) has a long history of use in traditional herbal medicine, including for male reproductive health. Folk medicine across various cultures has considered parsley a tonic for the kidneys and the reproductive system, sometimes recommending it to stimulate libido or address urinary and prostate concerns in men. However, the scientific evidence supporting these uses is limited. Most of the research on parsley focuses on its antioxidant properties, vitamin content, and potential effects on blood pressure and inflammation. Some animal studies suggest that parsley extracts may influence testosterone levels or spermatogenesis, but these findings have not been robustly confirmed in human clinical trials. Therefore, while parsley’s use for the male reproductive system is rooted in tradition, there is insufficient scientific validation to strongly support these claims at this time. In summary, parsley is used for this purpose primarily due to historical and traditional beliefs rather than compelling scientific evidence.
