In addition to helping people with a damp-heat constitution strengthen the spleen, pacify the liver, clear heat, and transform dampness—effectively changing their constitution—celery contains a large amount of colloidal calcium carbonate that is easily absorbed by the human body, which can supplement the calcium needed for the legs.
