Water sticks, aka peanut butter vessels, aka the most boring part of a crudite platter, celery is more of a superfood than it lets on. Following a tip from the controversial, yet enigmatic intuitive healer, the Medical Medium, holistic wellness pro, Elissa Goodman drinks a cup of celery juice every morning to help detox, improve digestion and soak up all the anti-inflamatory glory. Have you tried this? Learn why we’re thinking of following suit and sipping down celery juice daily…

Most of my clients are shocked when they hear me refer to celery as a “superfood.” To most people, celery is a snack covered in peanut butter and fed to kids or the only thing left in your glass after a bloody Mary brunch. But in reality, celery is one of my favorite superfoods — it doesn’t get the attention it deserves.

Celery has so many incredible health benefits that are only magnified by juicing. I began drinking celery juice daily as part of the thyroid recovery regimen suggested to me by the medical medium, Anthony William. After just seven days, I immediately began to feel positive digestive effects, and as time went on, I truly began to feel my gut healing.

Not only is celery high in vitamins and minerals, but it is anti-inflammatory, detoxifying and gut-friendly. So here’s why you should be sipping this unconventional green juice every morning.

Gut-boosting benefits:Gut health is such a hot topic right now… and for good reason! Your gut is connected to so many different aspects of your health, from your mood to your risk of disease. And while I’m a huge supporter of a daily probiotic regimen and can definitely join in on the fermented food craze, I’m always surprised about how often celery is overlooked as a gut healing food. It’s simple, it’s packed with nutrients, it’s cheap (!), but some of its biggest benefits stem from its ability to help those with low hydrochloric acid (HCL) levels and the related digestive issues.

Here’s the deal: HCL – otherwise known as stomach acid – helps to break down the foods you eat, specifically proteins. But when levels of HCL are low – which can happen if you have an autoimmune disease or are chronically stressed – you’ll experience some uncomfortable symptoms like indigestion, acid reflux and even IBS. Essentially, your digestive system is thrown completely out of whack, and you aren’t able to fully digest your food or absorb some of the essential nutrients from the foods you’re eating. But here’s where the healing power of celery juice comes in. Celery contains some important minerals and mineral salts that can help boost digestion, absorption and utilization of the food you eat for the remainder of the day. Plus, when consumed regularly, celery juice can help to gradually increase and restore your stomach’s HCL levels.

The benefits of celery span way beyond just the gut. From the thyroid to the liver, celery can change your health for the better. Other reasons to drink celery juice:

Thyroid cleansing: According to Anthony William, the mineral salts in celery help to fight and cleanse the body of the Epstein-Barr virus, particularly in the thyroid. Celery can also help to boost production of important thyroid hormones in those with hypothyroidism.

Liver detoxification: Celery’s detoxifying properties work to remove bad bacteria, fungi, mold, viruses and other toxins from the liver; the phytonutrients found in the green stalks also can have a protective effect.

Heart healthy: Studies have shown that celery extract consumption can help to prevent stroke, lower blood pressure, and reduce plaque in arteries.

Nervous system support: Celery is a powerhouse for supporting the nervous system. It has a calming effect on the nervous system because of its detoxify properties. It also provides support through its ability to act as a blood purifier.

Anti-inflammatory: Celery contains luteolin, a potent flavonoid, that can act as an antioxidant and calm inflammation.

Celery Juice FAQ

As celery juice has grown in popularity, we’ve received the following five questions frequently!
Here’s what you need to know… 

When should I drink celery juice? Celery juice should be consumed immediately upon waking up on an empty stomach for maximum benefits. It won’t stay good forever,  as fresh juice doesn’t last that long.

How much celery juice should I drink? You may want to start slowly with six to eight ounces and build up to 16 ounces from there. 16 ounces a day is great for most people, those who are hoping to address chronic health issues can consider 24 ounces daily, but should consult with their doctor or a nutritionist.

When will I feel the benefits? You may start to feel the positive changes of daily celery juice consumption in as little as seven days after starting your daily celery-juice habit, but you can continue drinking it for as long as you want. According to celery juice proponent and top wellness blogger, Ksenia Avdulova she experience the following benefits:

My skin feels more hydrated and smooth
I feel less hungry
I feel more nourished
My eyes feel more clear
I don’t experience occasional bloating anymore

Are there any risks associated with drinking  celery juice? Some people may have be allergic to celery. Those who are allergic to celery should clearly avoid the celery juice trend. In our experience, those who drink green juices for the first time may experience a bit of mild digestive upset at first, especially if their not accustom to a clean diet, but within reason, this is normal.

Live Science also shares research from the SF Gate that celery itself, not specifically the juice, could potentially cause goiters if consumed regularly in large amounts. “This is because great amounts of uncooked celery can interfere with the process of iodine functioning in the thyroid. Goiters can cause swelling in the neck, leading to breathing problems and possible hypothyroidism.”

  1. Since a juicer is not affordable for me, can one just simply eat the celery and receive the same benefits?

    • You’ll benefit from eating celery, but juice is a concentrated form of the veggie so it’s not quite the same thing. Read our story on “juicing without a juicer”!

      I am in week 2 of my celery juicing. First I was using high speed blender, but then I bought a 2nd hand juicer really cheap so try to search on the internet for used ones. Juicer including washing takes 5 minutes while blender incl cutting into small chunks, pouring through teh cloth an dwashing all 30 min. Good luck

  6. I’ve read up on this and am so glad to see it here…reminds me to get going! I start each day w a litre of lemon water on an empty stomach. I’ve been doing this for years and am really happy w it…thoughts on doing the celery juice after?

  7. after what time the juice is supposed to be taken

  8. I never thought to drink celery juice, it looks like it really does have some good benefits, I think I will definitely be trying this out soon.

  9. So most (or maybe all?) thryroid medications are to be taken first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, then to wait an hour before consuming anything so the medicine gets full absorbed. Is it okay to drink this celery juice that much later in the morning to still have its impact on those with thyroid disease?

    Amalia | 04.17.2018 | Reply
    • I was wondering the same thing!

      Lori | 06.19.2018 | Reply
    • I take my thyroid medication first thing in the morning, then wait (yoga, stretch, write) and have some warm lemon water and then my celery juice, so usually it’s about an hour or so after I wake up that I have it, still on an empty stomach. I think celery juice is absolutely beneficial anytime you drink it! Not everybody has the luxury of spacing things out so much in the morning, so just getting it in your system is going to have amazing benefits!

  10. Could you supply the link for your story ” juicing without a juicer”? Be intetested to see how this works.
    I agree that really effective juicers are expensive. I feel juicing celery or any other vegetable or fruit is really about getting nutrients into the body in sufficiently large amounts quickly as an aide to healing. Depending on how ill you really are, eating the right foods whole again, should be the real goal. We grow teeth for good reason -to initiate the digestive process where food is first introduced into the body, in the mouth where teeth chew food & saliva is mixed in to help with easier swallowing, all signalling for the release of stomach acids to help that process & with absorption of nutrients. Eating the wrong foods has, in recent times, led to a variety of problems & reduced or annhilated the efficacy of stomach acids. Good health, we often read these days, starts in the gut, but German naturopaths or alternative medicine practitioners have known that for decades.

  11. If you were to drink a blended version- say celery, parsley, green apple, spinach, ice etc- would you still be able to benefit from the nutrient intake? We don’t have a juicer either, just a blender. . . Will check the juicing without a juicer article also And how much celery would you be juicing to make 6-8 ozs of juice?

  21. I have been drinking 16 oz of celery juice on an empty stomach for two weeks now. I notice that this pretty immediately triggers a need to get to the bathroom (in a hurry..), and then for the rest of the day I’v still felt the need to stay close to a bathroom (if you catch my drift). After the first visit to the bathroom (which is only ever slightly satisfying), I have continued to feel crampy and constipated for the rest of the day. Can you advise? Is this something you have heard of anyone else having trouble with? I usually follow up my juice with coffee and breakfast around 15 minutes later. As an experiment, I skipped two days of celery juice and felt much more “regular” on these days. I want to stick with this for all of the touted health benefits, but getting myself on a more “regular” schedule was a major part of the appeal, and I am sadly finding the opposite to be true. Hoping to hear if anyone else has had a similar experience, possibly since I am so new to this?

    Bianca | 09.25.2018 | Reply
  22. Bianca, I am also having a similar reaction! My digestion has been WAY off since drinking celery juice – I’m on day 13. I’ve felt super bloated every day. I also got a cold around day 4 or 5. What the heck? Celery juice is having an opposite effect on me from all the benefits, it seems!

    Mary | 10.01.2018 | Reply
  23. I had the same issue for about 2 weeks! BUT I believe this to be a “detox” phase. I’m on week 4 and I feel so so good. My digestion is fantastic, I have so much energy, no more bloating and my skin is glowing. Give it time, its just your body dispelling junk and healing.

  28. I have just started taking celery juice, 16 ounces, the juice from one organic celery. It is my 8th day today. I am 81 years old and have suffered from diabetes since 1992. I have not noticed much change in my body yet, may be I have to take it for much longer period. I will take celery juice for a month to see some change in my body. May be I need to share it with someone of similar age to learn how long before I will notice a change.

  31. I’ve been on celery juice for a week and my husband took one small glass on day one and loved how it made him feel so much that he’s joined me on this endeavor! It truly does make me feel noticeably different. Revitalized. And I LOST WEIGHT. Literally done nothing else but add celery juice. I am thinking due to the fact I had low HCL before and wasn’t digesting properly!

    Can’t say enough about this cheap superfood. I am in love!

  37. I drank organic celery juice for 3 days & I was crashing like I had Narcolepsy every day from 4-8. On the 4th day, I got extremely bad heartburn and major pain in my left ribcage front to back and crashed all evening having really strange dreams and I was much more constipated than usual. What is going on? That kind of heartburn is difficult to stop naturally. Any ideas, I know its working just not sure how to do the whole empty stomach thing with what is going on.

  38. I’ve been drinking celery juice for 2 + weeks now and I feel amazing! I’ve lost 4lbs and my stomach has flatten out. I think most of that was bloat from poor digestion. I ate clean and organic but still had issues. I swear by this! My appetite has been suppressed and my skin seems to look better. I’ve been blending in my Nutribullet but I am considering getting nut milk bags to see if there is a difference with pulp vs. no pulp.

I am just wondering if the juice is doing me more harm than good. Did anyone’s symptoms get better?

  48. Everyone is different and sometimes a certain % of society does not tolerate certain foods. I am on day two and have had 2cups twice and each time I had a effortless bowel movement almost immediately after juicing. What you do and eat after will either help out your success or the opposite. Do your research on gut biome, bio films. It important you to know that you have ecosystem like the jungle inside of you and by you drinking celery juice on an empty stomach you will be upsetting many critters. It’s best to learn about ourselves. Good luck and please be patient and research.

  50. For others, you also may need to get a proper juicer. A slow juicer that is not an oxidizing juicer(not high speed). Like a masticating juicer. And I also like to add cucumber and carrot sometimes. Another thing you may want to add is a little green and/orany Apple and zucchini and long stalked kale but all organic. Cut the stalk off. I soak it after cleaning with water and a small bit of dish soap in a bowl of water with just a little bit of white vinegar. That kills any bacteria or viruses or mold. Even though it’s organic there still might be something on it. Then I let it dry then I juice it. This mixture seems to do the best for me I don’t know about you all but I really like it that I mix it all up really really well and I use a lot of the celery like she said. Add less Kale with thyroid issues. Then juice mix Nd put in jars and drink fresh if possible. Hope this helps.

The endocrinologist had planned for radiation and or surgical procedure for the thyroid. Within a month of regular celery, carrot juicing and regular salad in my daily diet; all diagnoses and all sufferings dissappeared. I read most of the previous comments. For those with negative results, well maybe these does not work for everyone but for me, l am a believer.

    thank you for your answer.

  53. I keep trying to find something to substantiate these miracle claims. Nothing other than celebrity testimonials. Im beginning to wonder if this Medical Medium is a trendy guy who knows how to sell someone something and likely has shares in a celery farm somewhere that needed to move more celery. People without critical thinking are gullible. That being said, I started to try it . After 7 days I noticed constipation from what were very good BM’s. If you look on the website, he talks around using celery juice,but never provides any substantial evidence to back up claims and never any followup or contact info. I gave it a fair chance, but it has to stand on merit.

  54. I have been using the celery juice method for about 4 days, I was too lazy to get down my juicer, But today I took you down I went back to the store and bought more or Organic celery. Tomorrow morning on an empty stomach I will drink between 8 and 16 oz of celery juice with will be juiced through a real juicer. The blender did fairly well, However it did not produce as less liquid even with me adding a little water to It. So I’m guessing my lazy time is over I will use the juicer and I am so blessed to have one. The celery juice has really reduce my waistline in those 3 days I see a difference so continuing it will mean that I will be some kind of sexy by June. That is, What I have deemed as the in a national holiday month. As you probably have figured out that is my birth month. I want to look and feel better in a greater way every day but definitely by June. I am so tired of the scale saying to be continued. So now I’ll get to work a little harder on my workout and on my gut. Well, Happy Celery drinking.

  59. Unless you want to be drinking a bunch of pesticides with your juice-organic is absolutely necessary. Celery is one of the dirty dozen vegetables that you should always buy organic. It usually is only 50c to a dollar more expensive than conventional. Dr. Jocker talks about juicing celery way back in 2014-don’t think MM came up with this on his own. It can lower blood pressure-so if you have low already-maybe don’t do every day? It is anti-inflammatory has lots of anti-oxidants and a lot of vitamin K (so if you are on blood thinners you might want to think twice because K helps clot your blood. K aslo works to drive calcium out of your arteries and into your bones. If the juice doesn’t agree with you -you could try taking a L-citrilline supplement-I have MS an noticed an improvement with it (along with a lot of other things: gluten free, low dairy, LDN etc)Celery juice is great for healing the gut-I always add some of the pulp back into the juice. I have made celery soup with the pulp-basically just sautee onions add a little garlic and bone broth and maybe some coconut milk to make it more creamy. It could be re-named Anti-constipation soup, so if that’s not your problem….

  60. I have read all of this and to tell you the truth I did not feel any results with the celery juice. Bought a NutraNinja to do this and drank a lot of celery Juice for 4 days. No running to the bathroom afterwards, no bloating or reduction in bloating. No SUDDEN bolt of energy after drinking it. Not sure what everyone is talking about. Take about 16-20 ounces a morning as soon as I wake up. Replaced my two cups of coffee with this juice so that is a benefit I guess. What’s everyone talking about am I just not as normal as everyone else?????

  62. thanks for amazing article thanks so much

  63. great article thanks for you

  64. I’m with Jo—so many things are supposed to work better “on an empty stomach,” but if you ingest all of them, the stomach is no longer empty, right? Any principles to guide choices?

    Sunnie | 04.17.2019 | Reply
  65. I understand the timing thing…I do the celery first, wait 15-30 mins (shower time, etc.), then the apple cider vinegar drink, wait again 15-30 mins. (meal prep, cleaning laundry, driving to work, etc.), then take the probiotic. It works well for my body. Another way I use when I oversleep or something, I take the probiotic before bed. It seems to help me to sleep better — I take a liquid one. The rule of thumb to have an “empty” stomach from solid foods is take it 1 hour before eating, or 2 hours after eating! Then you should be getting best benefits in that the stomach is not busy with digestion, thereby diluting these tonics and all their benefits! I’d rather do these things now and be able to avoid pharmaceutical drugs or something later!! Once you get used to it, its just a schedule change — not be deal!! In fact I stay up on my laundry & housekeeping so much better during my “wait” times!! YaY!!

  66. I have hypothyroidism, Addison’s disease, vitiligo, and because I take steroids now, I have the side effect of being diabetic (steroids increase your blood sugar; I take them twice a day); I have no traces of cortisol. I am up for the alternative of not needing so many meds…will have to do every other days, because Addison’s disease causes low blood pressure. I am eager to start but checking with my doctor on Monday before doing so..always a good practice to check with your doctor’s before changing your diet.

  67. Do you get the same benefits if you mix other vegetables with the celery?

  68. I started drinking 16 oz of celery juice on an empty stomach four days ago to heal my gut. I’d been experiencing stomach pain, gas, bloating, belching, diarrhea, and acid reflux. Everything I ate hurt my stomach. My doctor can’t see me right away so I decided to try the celery juice in the meantime. All I can say is after 4 days, all of my stomach issues are gone and I also have a lot more energy and am sleeping better! I’m still going to see my doctor but I’m going to continue with the celery juice.

  70. My father-in-law who is 92 had got to a point where he had stopped doing all the things that I think kept him going. Took him to acupuncturist, who said he’s not going to get any better unless he does juice of organic lemon with water on waking up, rinsing with clean water, waiting 20 minutes then drinking cold-pressed organic celery juice and waiting another 20 minutes before getting on with his day. Needless to say, we thought this all sounded like a big performance but thought anything was worth trying. Got a cold-press juicer and put the regime in place. After 2 weeks, he is going out, shopping, socialising, talking about things other than himself, walking quite easily without his frame. Says he feels ‘a little better’. Transformation I’d say.

  71. Wondering if I fast all day and eat one meal a day, will I get the same benefits if I have the celery juice before I break my fast in the evening or should I still have the celery juice in the morning.

  72. Just try to experiment two weeks drinking celery juice like others and see the difference or the after effect to your body system, and then you can decide whether to continue drinking this kind of juice or STOP IT. Remember every body is different. After all, we are still the best doctors for our self.

  73. When you state that celery juice is detoxing the liver- what research are you referring to? any medical evidence? As far as I know the liver detoxes itself, and there is no such thing as detoxing the liver… unless you are heavy drinker and need detox, but that is another story

  75. my question is how long do you do this for? for the rest of your life? i have definitely seen an improvement and i’ve been doing it about a month now. i have autoimmune disorders and really bad digestive/bloating problems my whole life. i feel so much better, but this is expensive and takes extra time in the morning, that i don’t always have. is it supposed to be for a certain number of months and then maintenance whenever, or just every day for the rest of your life? nowhere does it really say. if i stop drinking the celery juice, will everything go back to the way it was?

  76. I have been drinking celery juice 4-5 days a week for about 3ish months… at first I noticed some severe symptoms, too gross to list but along with this tho I noticed some ailments getting a little better . As I’ve continued tho the the severe symptoms seems to b less and less and I really have noticed a lot of digestive help and pains I thought were just part of getting older completely disappear .it is slow process but one I feel that is totally worth it to push through the rough patches . Just look at some of the instagrams pretty indisputable when see some of the physical changes.

  77. I’ve started drinking celery juice but ; I use a Nutra bullet, I want the fiber. I mix 6 stalks with 32 oz of water which includes my 7 X 16.9 oz of water everyday. My hope is that this addition will be an aide in keeping my cholesterol low. I am excited to learn the outcome as I plan to use this process daily. I also drink 2 cups of green tea with finally grated ginger, juice from 1/2 small lemon, And honey to taste, This has been my treat for many years. I never take anti acids.

  78. Juicing seems counterintuitive to me. You use up more produce for a smaller yield, and you lose important fiber, antioxidants and polyphenols in the juicing process. Some say juicing is more beneficial because the nutrients are concentrated. Of course it’s concentrated, because you’re using way more produce to get that concentration. Some say you end up eating more vegetables and fruits by juicing. Well, if you’re not already eating vegetables and fruits the normal way, that’s your choice. My Nutribullet blitzes celery beautifully with a little water without wasting valuable nutrients and fiber. Our bodies know how to utilize nutrients. They don’t need our food to be dumbed down. And why would you exclude the importance of organic celery? If you’re using non-organic celery you may as well forget the whole thing.
