Answer 1

First of all, don't use it if there is any chance you are pregnant. Tea is probably the most effective way to take parsley. Helps to add honey & lemon to make more palatable. In my favorite herbal, he lists tea, liquid extract, tincture then fresh juice but never suggests the capsule. If you buy a liquid extract, you can take one dropperful in place of a cup of tea. Just mix it into a bit of strong juice like grape or pineapple.

Other emmanagogues are Vitex (works well in a powdered extract in capsules), Blue Cohosh or Fenugreek seed (tastes yummy).
